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/

2017-10-12 17:25:56 UTC  

Yeah, it‘s pretty good

2017-10-15 05:16:50 UTC  

Fash the Nation and The Daily Shoah are both fantastic

2017-10-15 05:16:52 UTC  

Yeah, listening to FTN right now xD

The Latter Day Pamphlets, by Thomas Carlyle

2017-10-18 23:26:07 UTC  

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.

2017-10-18 23:39:41 UTC  

@P14 Animal farm is one of the greatest satirical books I've read. I suppose you're familiar with 1984 as well?

2017-10-18 23:40:56 UTC  

Id be surprised if anyone here hasnt read 1984

2017-10-18 23:47:23 UTC  

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.

2017-10-19 03:57:43 UTC  

@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.

2017-10-19 04:01:54 UTC  

@Belisarius noted. Will add under History/Philospophy. Thank you for the suggestion.

2017-10-19 20:22:01 UTC  

@Polak A plan to add books one-by-one over time? Is there a base of books you have collected already in this list?

2017-10-19 20:26:50 UTC  

I've got a great many books to share.

2017-10-19 20:28:50 UTC  

you can post them all here anytime

2017-10-19 22:23:14 UTC  

@User Not really, I‘ve only read the first chapter. I hope I‘m going to have time to read all of it soon.

2017-10-19 22:25:44 UTC  

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.

2017-10-20 02:44:36 UTC  

@P14 Have you read Spengler's Decline of the West yet?

2017-10-20 02:44:55 UTC  

I was discussing it earlier, and am hoping to find those who have already read it here.

2017-10-20 06:55:37 UTC  

@User No, I haven‘t.

2017-10-20 15:48:57 UTC  

Don't have a list made up at the moment. This channel has a lot of reccomendations, but I want to organize them under topics.

2017-10-20 19:11:42 UTC  

Ok. I'll make sure to add to the list.

2017-10-20 19:45:42 UTC  

There is this list @Polak

Plato (Euthyphro, Apology, Crito, Phaedo)
Aristotle (a selection)
Thomas Aquinas - Summa Theologica
Niccolo Machiavelli - The Prince
Thomas Hobbes - Leviathan
Jean Jacques Rousseau - The Social Contract
Adam Smith - Wealth of Nations
Thomas Paine - Common Sense
John Stuart Mill - On Liberty
Hegel - The Philosophy of Right
Friedrich Nietzsche - On the Genealogy of Morality
Karl Marx - Das Kapital
Adolf Hitler - Mein Kampf
George Orwell - Animal Farm & 1984
John Rawls - A theory of justice

2017-10-20 19:46:08 UTC  

Only philosophy though.

2017-10-20 22:12:23 UTC  

i like the /lit/ document

https://wrathoftheawakenedsaxon.files.wordpress.com/2016/09/revolt-against-the-modern-world-julius-evola.pdf

A great right wing Italian philosopher, here he writes about traditionalism and the importance of it. He coined the phrase "Revolt against the modern world" with this book of the same title.

An interesting video, that isn't very long, and mentions a book I think we would appreciate. I haven't found it online yet (also haven't bothered to look yet,) but I'll post it here if I find it.

2017-10-21 06:47:22 UTC  

@P14 Thanks for the recommendations. Those are a lot of good books on philosophy to start with.

2017-10-21 18:24:25 UTC  

@Lorenzo empires last for much longer than 250 years

2017-10-21 18:26:36 UTC  

the reason Rome fell was for a complex amount of reasons. It's amazing it lasted for so long, there was constant fighting in a change of power. Generals after winning battles would use their army to overthrow the emperor

2017-10-21 18:26:50 UTC  

plus they had a plague that was weakening their borders

2017-10-21 18:27:50 UTC  

but the economic inequality is incredibly true

2017-10-21 18:51:21 UTC  

@Roman Dreams I don't defend the opinion of the video/author I posted. I only posted it to share stuff. I think the 250 year thing isn't a limit, but an average for most empires.

2017-10-21 18:56:14 UTC  

could be a peek golden year
