What books would you recommend for someone just starting out in political/green activism. I want to read about ideas and theories of Marxism, anarchy, socialism stuff like that. Trying not to get lost in all of it

Goodluck trying to unite people in the age of identity politics.

Revolution is literally impossible in the current climate.

Here you go.

[Anonymous No.7342656]

These should keep you busy for a while

Ma'alim fi'l-tareeq (Milestones)- Sayyid Qutb
Riding the Tiger- Julius Evola
Theozoology or the science of the Sodomite Apelings and the Divine Electron- Jorg Lanz von Liebenfels
Mein Kampf
My Twisted World- Elliot Rodger
Industrial Society and its Future- Ted Kaczinsky
The Turner Diaries

[Anonymous No.7342678]

Derrick Jensen's Endgame series was pretty green & edgy - tho' I don't hold with any of that NeoLib Ecofascist truck.

The State and Revolution is essential for anyone attempting to organize any sort of political movement against the upper class. Lots of people here will disregard Lenin but he's honestly one of the greatest political pragmatists of the past couple centuries.

Read "how to kill yourself" by fuck you, you're a dirty communist bastard who is ruining America.

I'm sure you'll notice that all of these countries are third world shitholes where identity politics are all but non-existent.

"destroy the crazy delusion known as 'socialism'"
ok buddy, that's obviously just you trying to stir shit. if you were sincere, like our friend here you could have asked: "what are some entry-level anti-socialist works?"

And I didn't get b& for "trolling", I got b& for "posting a request thread outside of /r/"

If you want to be consistent, the mods should ban all request threads, regardless of the wording of the OP.

[Anonymous No.7344664]

>>7344659
Getting banned for request threads is rare. I usually get warnings.

I guess the mod felt his safe space to be invaded.

worth a shot
>>7344659
that was the stated reason because it accords with an obvious rule but the real reason was (we both know) that you were trying to start a shitty /pol/ thread

book rec threads are not request threads, they are not asking for things already known, but rather suggestions. asking for a pdf of a book is a request thread

[Anonymous No.7344726]

>Marxism
See pic related. Proper Marxists should get a good background on the classics before moving on to latter-day theoreticians. ABC of Communism and Synopsis of Capital aside, from top to bottom, everything labelled "Introductory" should be read.
If you want to get some physical books, get a copy of the Marx/Engels Reader, the Lenin Anthology, and the Essential Works of Rosa Luxemburg.

>political/green activism
Get some stuff by Bookchin.

>anarchy
Soul of Man under Socialism by Oscar Wilde (essay you can find for free online)
Mutual Aid by Kropotkin
Conquest of Bread by Kropotkin
Statism and Anarchy by Bakunin
Anarcho-syndicalism: Theory and Practice by Rudolf Rocker

>activism/revolution
Discounting the frankly stupid Anarchist anti-politics, Libcom is your best bet for getting info about organizing. Anarchism is shit. Become a Marxist.

I actually attempted to read this. I made it about ¾ of the way through before throwing in the towel.

I learned that slavery still exists, the white man runs an evil empire that is going to make our species extinct, the only way to save the human race is to immediately have a communist revolution a couple decades ago, and that climate change is irreversible because of white people.

Occupy wall street was the only chance to save the world, but it was broken up because fascism. Occupy wall street also single handedly saved the entire east coast with their “Occupy Sandy” movement. The government was too busy committing genocide against blacks and forcing them into jail, so Occupy had to save the day. Nearly every single person in jail is a person of color, and they are innocent.

One of the only people who is not an establishment puppet is Doctor Cornell West. He is a genius and is not allowed on television because fascism. Al Sharpton is an uncle tom who is working with Barak Obama to oppress black people. He is an establishment mouthpiece working to maintain America’s unjust empire of oppression.
