Any recommendations on good conservative literature? Not a /pol/ guy, nor a staunch right-wing guy, I only want a piece of the conservative ideology.

Thanks

>> No.9009029

I'm sorry my friend, but being a reactionary/conservative/liberal means you're inherently a feels>reals person so you won't find any good theory or literature

it's why leftists (when I say leftists I mean communists, socialists, anarchists, syndicalists etc. and not jill stein, bernie sanders and hillary clinton) have mountains of theory and there's a million of leftist intellectuals. The right only has virtue-signalling pseudo-intellectuals like ann coulter.

Depends. If you mean like Conservative in the traditional sense then reading religious works, such as the Bible and Paradise Lost would be a good start.

As a person who browses /pol/ though, conservatism is changing to white identity politics in which case you should read The Culture of Critique and Nietzsche

The right can be divided in two lines: the feels supporters (these guys are pretty solid desu) and the virtue-signalling pseuds. So you have Dosto vs. Rand.

Clark Ashton Smith, Lovecraft, Zelazny, Jack Vance, Heinlein, Anderson, Card, Heinlein, Niven, McCaffrey etc.

You've also got plenty of crypto-fascists like Moorcock, Cook etc

Fiction being a leftist playground is a recent invention due to the reduced prestige of being a published author.

Kek.

Leftist theory is all trying to apply Marx to a variety of social problems. It's the exact same as Catholic theology which has produced a mass of writings all attempting to apply Catholic doctrine to various problems and situations. There is a mountain of each sort of theory, but each would completely fall apart if you reject the central dogmatic works at the base of it.

It isn't hard to come to that conclusion, he writes exclusively from the perspective of aristocratism, deflects his own fascism onto other authors, attempted to deconstruct multiple fantasy tropes and failed spectacularly and couldn't build a readership outside of the exact people he proclaimed to dislike.
