The gospel of thomas, a religious text that was not included in the Bible. It's a great read and not very long, and has some pretty good quotes in it.

The Anatomy of Fascism, by Robert E. Paxton. A good book on fascism, written by a historian/political theorist that has studied fascism all his life. It's pretty objective and certainly doesn't support fascism.

For my Legionaries, by Corneliu Codreanu, a fascist in Romania during WW2. It's an interseting read for those who are interested in history, and it covers a lot about Romania's role in the war and how people responded to the violence there. It's also interesting for people who, like I, study political theory and want some primary sources on fascist ideology instead of secondary sources.
And that's everything I have to recomend for now, and everything I can give in pdf form. I'll post some other stuff tomorrow, hopefully, getting a lot of books coming in, stuff on anarchism and some works by Noam Chomsky, which should interesting.
Good finds Lorenzo
Have any of you read Republic by Plato? I'm thinking about getting a copy from the library.
@Bugs Bunny Nips the Nips#6115 I have it, but I've never read it. If you're going for the classics, I would advise Aristotle.
thanks
@Bugs Bunny Nips the Nips#6115 If you want aristotle, I recommend The Great Books of The Western World, Volume's 8 and 9
you can find copies for like 8-10 bucks
I second reading aristotle, alot of his works can be found for free on the internet too.

Finished reading Animal Farm. It's not a long book and kind of amusing. I would suggest you read it, shouldn't take long.
Thanks for the link @P14#2043
my book on the finnish winter war is so fucking lit and really motivates me
made me (continuing in /sig/ general)
what's sig general?
Self Improvement General
it's a popular general on pol
I meant our own channel, selfimprovement general 😅
Just started listening to Fash the Nation, it's pretty good. We'll informed on current politics but from a right wind perspective https://therightstuff.biz/category/fash-the-nation/
Fash the Nation and The Daily Shoah are both fantastic
Yeah, listening to FTN right now xD
The Latter Day Pamphlets, by Thomas Carlyle
Finished Spengler's Decline of the West a few weeks ago. I discussed the book with some old students too. I'm not too experienced in Philosophy of History at the moment, so I'm working on it right now.
@P14 Animal farm is one of the greatest satirical books I've read. I suppose you're familiar with 1984 as well?
Id be surprised if anyone here hasnt read 1984
I've recently been studying Philosophy of History, and I've found that supplements to such works are invaluable. On a similar note, there are few works that summate philosophy and its history to the degree that is possible to sufficiently understand both. For this I recommend Kenny's A New History of Western Philosophy. It was thoroughly useful. It is a good introduction to general philosophy and is relatively new, and I've got a digital (PDF) file if anyone is interested -- it is in four volumes.
I want to compile a list of essential reading on various topics, including Philosophy (metaphysics, logic, etc.), Politics (specifically right wing), homesteading, survival, etc. If you have an idea of a book that is a good read to get into a topic, @ me in this channel and I will throw it into a list. Eventually, we will have a list with essential readings and then books to delve deeper into the topics.
@Polak before you read anything to do with history i would reccomend first going over the book "The Decline of The West" by oswald spengler. very good philosophical book on history.
@Belisarius noted. Will add under History/Philospophy. Thank you for the suggestion.
@Polak A plan to add books one-by-one over time? Is there a base of books you have collected already in this list?
I've got a great many books to share.
you can post them all here anytime
@User Not really, I‘ve only read the first chapter. I hope I‘m going to have time to read all of it soon.
1984 is definitely also necessary to read. I also read Animal Farm first. mostly because of its slim size, though I've had to reread it many times because of that same reason.
