reading some of his other economic texts, like wage labor and capital and probably hegel's the philosophy of history is good

2018-05-30 00:06:46 UTC  

Not sure, got it from the library.

2018-05-30 00:06:46 UTC  

tell me

2018-05-30 00:06:49 UTC  

Of course

2018-05-30 00:06:52 UTC  

every man a king

2018-05-30 00:06:53 UTC  

you read a bad translation

2018-05-30 00:06:58 UTC  

read the ford translation @AlaJt

2018-05-30 00:07:03 UTC  

@mcstubbs Yeah, as well as "Value, Price and Profit".

2018-05-30 00:07:08 UTC  

i can dm you it

2018-05-30 00:07:10 UTC  

@mcstubbs I'm pretty sure it has something like that, introductory to the dialectic.

2018-05-30 00:08:03 UTC  

I also have wage-labour and capital and value-price and profit.

2018-05-30 00:08:05 UTC  

gonna send you a few pdfs also you might wanna read meinkampf ford or stalag translation @AlaJt

Marx is wrong when Adam smith agreed with concepts like labour theory of value. Marx is based in material reality smh.

2018-05-30 00:08:16 UTC  

yeah, but it's also good to have some other texts, because marx, although he was a good thinker, was an atrocious writer

2018-05-30 00:08:19 UTC  

@Mitch Is it even worth to read at this point?

2018-05-30 00:08:24 UTC  

yeah

2018-05-30 00:08:29 UTC  

you read a bad translation

2018-05-30 00:08:31 UTC  

I hate reading books on a computer or virtual platform.

2018-05-30 00:08:33 UTC  

the ones in the library are jewd as fuck

2018-05-30 00:08:40 UTC  

But tbh, if you don't have a background in Western Philosophy, particularly German Idealism, you should look into secondary literature first before diving into Hegel directly.

2018-05-30 00:08:52 UTC  

and very dishonest plus they dont give background on some refrences

2018-05-30 00:08:52 UTC  

@🌼Kalina🌹🌸🌹Zay🌹🌸🌹Scott🌼 Haven't got around to finishing Wealth Of Nations

2018-05-30 00:09:01 UTC  

@Mitch I see.

2018-05-30 00:10:03 UTC  

oh yeah, and kant.

2018-05-30 00:10:09 UTC  

but i'm a kant fanboy so i'm biased

2018-05-30 00:10:26 UTC  

No I agree with you.

2018-05-30 00:10:31 UTC  

@WildRooHuntingTutorials same, but i can't get a lot of books in paper

2018-05-30 00:10:31 UTC  

The content of his writings has a well-deserved reputation as dense and formidable, it doesn't help that he wasn't a very good writer. And I say that with love and respect lmao.

2018-05-30 00:10:35 UTC  

the ones i want, anyway

Adam Smith is a critic of capitalism but not a socialist because the concept existed after him :-( Though the Adam Smith Institute is a piss taker

2018-05-30 00:10:42 UTC  

He was a central figure in modern philosophy.

2018-05-30 00:10:45 UTC  

oh yeah, he was an atrocious writer

2018-05-30 00:10:53 UTC  

but man, that little prussian hobgoblin was a smartie

2018-05-30 00:10:55 UTC  

im a communist now

2018-05-30 00:11:04 UTC  

@mcstubbs He really was.

2018-05-30 00:11:54 UTC  

Funny how Fascists/Nat-Soc agree with each other on a lot of issues but violently defend other political, economic and social thought.

2018-05-30 00:11:58 UTC  

Truly a genius whose thought was ahead of its time, like Marx.

2018-05-30 00:13:13 UTC  

@🌼Kalina🌹🌸🌹Zay🌹🌸🌹Scott🌼 That's so true. The Adam Smith Institute is such a joke lol.

2018-05-30 00:14:16 UTC  

mfw was arguing with some conservacuck who tried to tell me Adam Smith was an uber libertarian

2018-05-30 00:14:36 UTC  

what a nerd

2018-05-30 00:14:56 UTC  

i have a tiny adam smith bust in my room, but i am by no means a fan of the man
