/lit/ is there a left wing literature version of this list? If not can you recommend me some left wing literature for someone just getting into the subject?

>> No.5051434

Pretty much everything not on this list.

Obviously, but I'm basally just looking for a recommended reading list for left lit.

>> No.5051455

Why would you ever want a "leftist recommended reading"?

It is a literature related thread, but I just know what it will spiral into.

Let the spiraling begin.

...Or is the list missing someone you like?

What kind of work are you looking for? Revolutionary theory, economics, philosophy, histories, political theory, etc.

>> No.5051666 [DELETED] 

i'm an ultra-leftist, i think >>5051457 is pretty awful. most of the work on there is great but as a general introduction to "leftism" whatever that means it fails miserably

>> No.5051681 [DELETED] 

just read what interests you on marxists.org and libcom. read, read, read. for now i will say keep the names gilles dauve and amadeo bordiga in your mind.

Absolutely revolting. You people are complete dishonest snakes and this "no true leftism" is the ace in the hole.

i'm more worried about how long your reply took to type

my comment read: "i'm an ultra-leftist and i don't find that the left lit list posted in this thread was all that interesting". nothing to hide, just a shitty comment

I've been reading large parts of that Frankfurt School wiki article, but there is absolutely no information on what the Frankfurt School stands for.

Did some marxist deliberately jumble together some difficult words and famous thinkers to obfuscate Frankfurt School's true objectives?

>> No.5051864

>>5051854
you are probably just reading a shit article written by incompetents

Point in case:
"What radical music perceives is the untransfigured suffering of man [...] The seismographic registration of traumatic shock becomes, at the same time, the technical structural law of music. It forbids continuity and development. Musical language is polarized according to its extreme; towards gestures of shock resembling bodily convulsions on the one hand, and on the other towards a crystalline standstill of a human being whom anxiety causes to freeze in her tracks [...] Modern music sees absolute oblivion as its goal. It is the surviving message of despair from the shipwrecked"

That's just a really convoluted way of saying "people are shit and make shit music".

And this is one of the more concrete and clear parts of the entire article.

That's a little better, but it still reads like bullshit. Although that's probably because the whole thing is bullshit.

They're essentially socially challenged sperglords shouting how stupid the sheeple are for acting in accordance with hundreds of thousands of years of human culture.
