Pic related. Anyone who wishes to be successful, not even in politics, should read the Prince.

I'm genuinely confused. Can someone explain why LOTR is on this list?

I've never read it but I didn't think that it had a political agenda.

For its criticism of industrialisation and 'progress', for its romantic portrayal of rural life and community. Also one of the books is called 'The Return of the King'.

>> No.6447996

It's not reactionary, but conservative.
It has a romantic feel of the 19th century national liberalism, just don in the 20th century, thus making it "conservative".

Conservatives become reactionaries when they know they've lost. See Peter Hitchens.

I accept the fact that SJW and liberals won, now I'm a reactionary too.. I want to go back to before all this garbage

Anyone who acts according to a book, any book, but especially the Prince is a retard.
The ideas from the Prince could only be useful in some high-level politics, where people are born and raised to not care about subordinates, and their war with their equals can only be damaging for those below them, not themselves.

yeah, good luck talking about anything slightly left wing on /pol/. I don't mind so much having a separate board for politics but trying to send us to /pol/ isn't going to work for the people who actually want to have conversations without clashing ideologies. Mods know enough about board culture to know that it won't work.
