is this a new meme, to pretend Orwell was good?

Hey guys, Mencius Moldbug here.

In answer to your query about which books pertaining to political philosophy you should read, I can only recommend Caryle if you wish to excise the malignant virus of progressivism from your brain. Additionally, I have written a nine-part blog post entitled 'A Gentle Introduction' on my now defunct 'Unqualified Reservations', which I ceased to write after concluding that me theoretical grounding for my Patchwork ideology was predicated on total and utter bunkum, that may be of some aid in dispelling the delusions of the 21st century.

Anyone give me a brief summary on the book or the author?

[Anonymous No.7450693]

>>7450602
Basically the author says we should force interracial marriage in order to strengthen the gene pool and we should give all foreign aid to Israel and allow them to become the default hegemon in the middle east. There is also some shit about how buying things leads to spiritual fulfillment and capital has inherent value.

>implying Carlyle was anti-progressive
>implying his progressiveness wasn't what actually a huge part of what made him based

Holy fucking Christ, you shills haven't even read him.

Anyway, start with the Greeks, OP. Aristotle and Plato are essential. Then move on to the shit that >>7450530 mentioned and some Hume. Skip Marx and Moldbug for your sanity's sake (the latter does have some good reading suggestions - most of what he writes himself is bonkers though).

>Skip Marx

Skip Marx? There's a lot you can take away from Marx's writings even if you're not a marxist. If you're on the right, you should read him to at least get a better understanding of your opponents.

>and Moldbug

Yeah, I wasn't being serious when I recommended him.

Thanks, already got aristotle's and pluto's complete works ordered, also got some short story collections on the way since I'm sincerely in love with how you can express yourself and your thoughts/feelings in that form.
If you guys got any suggestions on the short stories I'd appreciate it!
