Ran out of stuff to read over the holidays, back at work now but looking for some weekend reads.

What are some "Red Pill" books I can look into and not /pol/ teir shit. More along the lines of frederick niche or machiavelli?

Anything addressing the idea of technocracy or meritocracy is also welcome.

I'd say Fukuyama is pretty interesting choice.
I'd also say just for kicks you should also read his End of History and the Last Man.

And I'll add something about nature of power;
Michel Foucalt's three lectures:
>Society must be defended
>Security, Population, Terriotry
>Birth of Biopolitics

Sorry, I should have been more clear in the OP.

By redpill I mean no leftism. Just anti-woman, anti-racemixing, anti-nonwhite, pro capitalism etc

Well Fukuyama still kind of falls under that.
But you should really go outside your own echochamber and read something that is against your worldview.
You could also read Schopenhauer, he's always quoted in anti-woman threads.

That Greeks section is awful. Republic is a bad start to Plato, and the Metaphysics is an awful start to Aristotle.

so long as you have a proper classical background it's eye opening (ie, read the greeks first)

Both are quite simple especially with a good introduction and annotations. Read both first and other works later, had no problems whatsoever.

You wouldn't get as much out of the Republic with no good grounding in his thought.

>>7546149
With the Republic it's not that it's extremely difficult that you shouldn't start with it, it's that many misinterpret it, or don't get much out of it without having read his other works.

dude you can't just go back in time to 1960
if you want to be a traditionalist, that's cool, but you can't embrace capitalism in the same sentence and not have everybody think you're the biggest idiot possible/trolling
