@Deleted User I watched Zizek speak Croation. It's quite interesting if you're American like me

2017-07-15 03:33:34 UTC  

As for my reading

2017-07-15 03:33:55 UTC  

I am attempting to slowly read Marx, Zizek, and I'm attempting to read various pdfs

2017-07-15 03:34:06 UTC  

@Cobra Commander I understand everything he says, croatian and serbian are like egyptian and syrian, we can understand eachother 99.99%

2017-07-15 03:34:14 UTC  

Recently I was reading Camus

2017-07-15 03:34:21 UTC  

Doesn't he speak Slovene?

2017-07-15 03:34:26 UTC  

He is Slovene

2017-07-15 03:34:33 UTC  

Yeah

2017-07-15 03:34:36 UTC  

@Cobra Commander reading marx is very obscure, what books? And are you reading Engels?

2017-07-15 03:35:06 UTC  

Communist Manifesto and (very VERY slowly) Das Kapital

2017-07-15 03:35:12 UTC  

NO STOP

2017-07-15 03:35:19 UTC  

Reading capital first is the biggest mistake to make

2017-07-15 03:35:26 UTC  

just trust me on this

2017-07-15 03:35:31 UTC  

Ej sirotanowić, możesz mnie rozumieć?

2017-07-15 03:35:40 UTC  

Jedva te razumem TSG

2017-07-15 03:35:46 UTC  

If only I could understand it better, that's why it's on hold

2017-07-15 03:35:52 UTC  

Ayyy slavic languages

2017-07-15 03:35:58 UTC  

"hey sirotanovic, can you understand me?"

2017-07-15 03:36:02 UTC  

Yep

2017-07-15 03:36:09 UTC  

government get out, want my advice on literature?

2017-07-15 03:36:14 UTC  

Sure

2017-07-15 03:36:30 UTC  

start off with socialism utopian and scientific, the communist manifesto is actually a bad starting book

2017-07-15 03:36:33 UTC  

Why is it a mistake to start with capital?

2017-07-15 03:36:42 UTC  

re-visit the communist manifesto after socialism utopian and scientific

2017-07-15 03:37:08 UTC  

Socialism: Utopian and Scientific?

2017-07-15 03:37:22 UTC  

Who's this by?

2017-07-15 03:37:40 UTC  

@PEWEX it is a mistake because it is an extremely heavy book and going into it without prior understanding often leads people to misconceptions about the book, many of marx's and engel's works cover shit in das capital and are shorter, so they give you a good idea before starting

2017-07-15 03:37:49 UTC  

Socialism utopian and scientific is by Engels

2017-07-15 03:37:52 UTC  

it is 100 pages

2017-07-15 03:37:52 UTC  

Ah

2017-07-15 03:37:52 UTC  

Ah

2017-07-15 03:38:22 UTC  

let me dig up my starting reading list for begginers

2017-07-15 03:38:34 UTC  

Engels was a nice fellow (even if he wasn't so nice to the gay). He was an egoist communist, I think this will help

2017-07-15 03:38:50 UTC  

engels view of gays was a product of his time

2017-07-15 03:38:58 UTC  

Of course

2017-07-15 03:39:04 UTC  

Perfectly understandable

2017-07-15 03:39:09 UTC  

Can't blame the people of the past for being the people of the past

2017-07-15 03:39:14 UTC  

Exactly

2017-07-15 03:39:26 UTC  

I'm sure the stuff we do now will be barbaric one day

2017-07-15 03:40:00 UTC  

Autism or Barbarism?

2017-07-15 03:40:04 UTC
