Marxists: Communism is Pragmatic
Also Marxists: I hate Conservativism
The main principle of Traditionalism is to make policy based on what works. I.e. PRAGMATISM!
I think Das Kapital is essential to read though.
i wouldn't start with capital
^
what the fuck do you mean by capitalism in decay
like
Why not?
Of course. According to you anything that isn't communist is capitalist.

@AlaJt Das Kapital isn't a great place to start as you can easily become overwhelmed. It's an intellectual force to be reckoned with, that's for sure. I recommend starting off with some introductory texts.
it's a bit boring at first and a decent knowledge of the dialectic is needed going into it
Fascism is there to save the bourgeoisie when their influence is falling apart by crushing any actual worker movement. 👍
hmm
Mein Kampf was boring and told me stuff I already knew
mind if i dm some le epic pdfs?
also a few excerpts of Evola
>mein kampf boring
sure, sure.
reading some of his other economic texts, like wage labor and capital and probably hegel's the philosophy of history is good
Not sure, got it from the library.
tell me
Of course
every man a king
you read a bad translation
@mcstubbs Yeah, as well as "Value, Price and Profit".
i can dm you it
@mcstubbs I'm pretty sure it has something like that, introductory to the dialectic.
I also have wage-labour and capital and value-price and profit.
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.
yeah, but it's also good to have some other texts, because marx, although he was a good thinker, was an atrocious writer
yeah
you read a bad translation
I hate reading books on a computer or virtual platform.
the ones in the library are jewd as fuck
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.
