It was snarky response. But am I not right?

State is taking little children and teaching them ideas that will make them useful to state in future. This is relationship of mutual benefit, children get education and state loyal citizens.

Best book about this is Eugen Weber <em>Peasants Into Frenchmen the Modernization of Rural France, 1870-1914</em>. Author shows how France used tools of mass education to create a generation of men ready to fight and bleed for France.

This is the Black Sun / Schwarze Sonne symbol, which is famously found in Wewelsburg Castle, where it was probably installed by the SS Ahnenerbe while it was a center of their activities.

Here is an interesting (but dry) documentary on the topic

At this point the far right seems to flash black sun's like gang signs, when likely none of them are versed in the esoteric meaning of the symbol.

I have plenty more recommendations, but this is a good list to start with, let me know if you have any specific areas of interests and I could recommend you something in that direction.

I recommend to everybody Marxism, Fascism, Totalitarianism by A. James Gregor. It has excellent chapters on Sorel, syndicalism and corporatism.

Its largely without bias or normative judgement of fascism but instead is scholarly analysis of fascism in its various stages. The author is not a fascist but got is phd studying fascism and the Vichy french. I like that he talks about both successful and unsuccessful fascist movements and breaks fascism down into various stages. https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Anatomy-of-Fascism-Audiobook/B06XXRHVGP?qid=1540564304&amp;sr=sr_1_2&amp;ref=a_search_c3_lProduct_1_2&amp;pf_rd_p=e81b7c27-6880-467a-b5a7-13cef5d729fe&amp;pf_rd_r=SNENACBQ7C0Z4Y0C8PK7&amp;

Read the Manifesto, it is nice summary of main marxist talking points, though it is not representation of whole Marxism.

I would also recommend <em>Why Read Marx Today?</em> by marxist philosopher Jonathan Wolff because it is short and modern. <em>ABC of communism</em>, is interesting form of questions and answers format, originally designed for Russian peasants, but it is universal and quite good.

>In your opinion, what is the key difference of opinion between marxists/commies and Fascists?

/u/RoiDeFrankia has explained them, and there is no need to add anything more from me.

>I mean the Soviets/Chinese commies, who to me often seem quite Nationalistic aswell (and plenty were Racist).

Well, even Marx himself had bad words for Slavs, that does not make him German imperialist. In other words, marxist theory always managed to adapt itself to local circumstances and in process corrupt and deviate from orthodoxy.

They had a very powerful and strong culture, and with that (and their given geographical location) they went leagues ahead of what was probably prescribed.

If anyone of this sub hasn't read it yet, I'd reccomend this book if you haven't read it already. Really changes your perspective on African nations as a whole

Yes, the view of blacks as inferior emerged as a consequence of their enslavement, and the resulting view of them as being submissive, dumb and servile. I think this view first emerged among Arabs in the Middle Ages (who engaged extensively in the African slave trade), and then spread to Europeans when they also became heavily involved in the slave trade and came to associate blackness with debasement and servility.

Ibn Khaldun, one of the greatest Arab historians of the Middle Ages, had this to say about blacks: > The only people who accept slavery are the Negroes, owing to their low degree of humanity and proximity to the animal stage. Other persons who accept the status of slave do so as a means of attaining high rank, or power, or wealth, as is the case with the Mameluke Turks in the East and with those Franks and Galicians who enter the service of the state [in Spain].

> "Therefore, the Negro nation are, as a rule, submissive to slavery, because [Negroes] have little [that is essentially] human and have attributes that are quite similar to those of dumb animals, as we have stated."

Link: https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Ibn_Khaldun#On_black_people

This is very similar to modern racist views of blacks, but it was written over 500 years ago.

Matthew Sharpe's entry in the IEP may be of help to you. To me, it is probably the best introductionary text on him.

If you are interested more in the critique of Zizek, you might want to take a look at Bowman's Is this not precisely.. The Truth of Zizek?. It's a fresh break from most of the hagiographical reviews of his work, and it does not simply dismiss him as a clown.

You got me. I am a strange beast. A barley shaken by wind.

I am trying to find a middle ground between my love toward country (Hobsbawm would call me deluded) and my faith(which is of course of greater importance).

Few years ago I was more radical, but then I read C.S. Lewis and returned to faith of my ancestors. But I still kept belief: in corporatism, nationalism as expression of unique culture (bear in mind that I do not advocate exceptionalism), statism, hierarchism, meritocracy and organic society. Now I have to do mental gymnastics all the time in order to stay away from heresy. Hard job.

As for secular context. I have read far too much of Oswald Spengler and Julius Evola to be considered optimist. Nietzsche was right; God is dead, and everbody is master of his morality. My job is now to ally myself with every faction in order to perserve shaken foundations. I do not have to convince them to establish de Maistrean monarchy, but reduction of abortion for example would be nice start. Essentially what I am waiting is the start of new cycle, I will probably long dead by that time. https://www.scribd.com/doc/234418519/Archeofuturism-European-Vision-Guillaume-Faye

As for Catholic context, this is my biggest hurdle. Both Rexists and Maurrasists were not viewed with favour. But I can find some room with distributist thought and emphasize on top-down distribution of political power.

I need more to read and think, wisdom is a gift I sorely lack.

I have seen you around, you seem to be smart guy, are you fascist or are you merely curious?

There is a green party for nationalists, see The Greenline Front. They are very active as well, through cleaning campgrounds, participating in Slavic nationalist rallies, and donating food to animal shelters. As others have mentioned, real conservatives are environmentalists.

Last week I commented on The Wealth of Nations, didn't I? Well I finished it. I also read The Production of Security and I have to say it is really well written, I fear turning people into ancaps by recommending it. I continue my reading on capitalism with For a New Liberty: The Libertarian Manifesto. It is terrible so far, completely different story, I would only recommend it to show how stupid libertarianism can be.

>I haven't read Marx yet because I've been meaning to read Hegel first, and there are frankly thinkers who, at a glance, I find more interesting than either of them.

Haha, well Hegel is even more of a task than Marx.

>But I wanted to know: as someone who has read Capital, do you think it's essential to read other economic works before reading it (like maybe The Wealth of Nations)?

Not necessarily other economic books (although that certainly would help) reading and watching introductions prior would probably be helpful too and this is coming from someone who normally discourages reading introductions in philosophy.

That depends what you want to cover. If you want an introduction to the general discipline, I would recommend a blend of primary and secondary sources, here's a few absolute must read in my perspective:

• On War, Carl von Clausewitz

• Supplying War and Technology and War, both by Martin van Creveld.

• The Art of War, Sun Tzu

• Commentaries on the Gallic War, Julius Caesar

• History of the Peloponesian War, Thucydides

• The Fifteen Decisive Battles of the World: from Marathon to Waterloo, Edward Shepherd Creasy

And frankly a shitton more. It's hard to pick a single one, but I'm constantly drawn back to Clausewitz.

Monarchies can be capitalistic, The Wealth of Nations was written at a time when most European societies were still monarchic.

An interesting concept nonetheless, there's definitely a dynastic element there, but calling it a monarchy just sounds wrong to me.

My dissertation is finally finished and printed, ready for submission. I've been re-reading Meditations by Marcus Aurelius and an English poetry collection. Having some trouble with this girl I am interested in (I genuinely believe the 'fairer sex' is my biggest weakness and flaw) but if it all goes to pot, I am at least going to the coast/mountains next week, with no phone signal, where I can bathe my wounds in the freezing waters...

I just read The Republic by Plato. I found it interesting. It was interesting at some part and boring at others. I like his basic ideas even if I mostly don't like how they are represented. I would recommend it because of it's importance if nothing else.

• Jean-Jaques Rousseau - A Discourse on Inequality was my first political book, and the basic idea of it has stuck with me ever since. I strongly believe those at the top have an obligation to help those at the bottom, and I share a similar skeptic's view on private property, albeit I acknowledge it (at this point) as necessary.

• John Kenneth Galbraith - More of an economist than a politician, but his stuff has left a lasting impression on me, specifically his outline of a 'technostructure' that holds most power in society indirectly, and the merger of large businesses and the state over time by de facto. However, I see this in a positive light if manipulated correctly. I also agree with his point in The Affluent Society that we do end up voting against the policies that gave us prosperity after some time.

• Han Feizi - An odd one, but it contributed a lot to my admiration for the Asian societal model, and is probably a driving force behind what made me a Cultural Relativist (Thats cultural, not moral, dont equate the two!), something that plays a big part in how I see interactions between nations.

• Park Chung-Hee - A leader I greatly admire for industrialising a country rapidly and successfully mobilising an entire nation towards a common goal nearly flawlessly. The model of a market economy with strong state-mandated businesses and corporate-state partnership is an ideal for me.

• Lee Kuan Yew (RIP) - See above, similar reasons.

Overall I'd say im much more influenced by economic ideas than I am by philosophy. I was a Distributist most of my time being into politics, then went through a brief phase of Anarcho-Communism (which I cringe at in retrospect), and now would consider myself some form of Socialist, although im not really sure. I like to see myself as pragmatic.

Yes.

This place has Mexican food as well, but not exclusively

Here is a pdf of the October Manifesto of the Brazilian Integralists, and there is a section on them in this book from pages 294(linked) to 298.

I have tried to go from bottom, from Plato and Aristotle to newer, but after being stuck on Hobbes I gave up. First: there is lot to read, but more importantly I came up with wrong impressions and conclusions. If you do it on its own (I am not student of philosophy,), without formal instructor, you are most likely to get lost in the dark. For that matter I have decided to read textbooks first.

These three are in my focus (I am going to put pdf-s). I have finished first, and currently going through second.

An Introduction to Political Philosophy by Jonathan Wolff

Understanding the Political Philosophers by Alan Haworth ((photo.goodreads.com/documents/1350782806books/13715772.pdf) - just copy/paste url ))

An Introduction to Political Philosophy - Colin Bird

This is a great question to think about. I think, ideally, a Virtuous Leader would be best; Plato's Philosopher-King or Confucius' junzi. Realistically, though, I think Machiavellian policies can be very important for the survival of any modern government. The best leader, in my opinion, would be perfectly virtuous by all outside appearance (cultured, wise, competent, and just), while still capable of any ruthless actions deemed necessary to preserve the health of the political state.

I would support a Grand Council to advise the leader, with the power to remove anyone who pursues incompetent policies or ruinous actions. I believe that a one-party state is most effective, and, while a good degree of free debate should be allowed, I would support the active suppression of dissident organizations. I don't believe that an ideal government would have any sort of republican foundation. I advocate a meritocratic, authoritarian system wherein government careers can only be obtained via high marks on a standardized civil service examination.

My nationstates aren't doing too great :(

For some reason, tackling corruption caused a recession...

Oh yeah, I also had a question for you guys (or the fascists among you, for we are an inclusive community). How did you get into fascism?

This probably sounds a little silly, but I used to (when I was young, <13 yrs old) be very anti-fascist, and I hated my German heritage (1/4 German). In my defense, I was raised in a very left wing household, in a country (the UK) which has a huge obsession with the Holocaust. I only really became open to fascism after learning about the German wunderwaffen, and the German Nazi-era scientists (yeah, I'm a STEM supremacist). After that, I've just gradually drifted rightwards.

I have not touched it in awhile, but here is my main nation:

https://www.nationstates.net/nation=reunified_virginia

The concept is pretty LARPy, but it is basically a quasi-fascist Virginia that annexed the good parts of WV (my home state).

Not until today

I created one though! (Based on my actual ideology) https://www.nationstates.net/nation=united_european_technocraties

Two, in fact (To compare effects of choices, and for the lolz) https://www.nationstates.net/nation=social_justice_warriorz

There is no single text that explains fascist philosophy. The closest would be the "Doctrine of Fascism" by Giovanni Gentile, which is more of a pamphlet than a book, and which won't give you a proper appreciation of modern reactionary politics.

There are no shortcuts in self-education; just like in physical fitness, you need to put in lots of time and effort in order to see results. If you're serious, you should start with Plato and end with Heidegger, going through 2000+ years of Western philosophy. Understanding the history of philosophy becomes especially important as you come closer to the modern era, since modern writers like Nietzsche and Heidegger often reference the ideas of older writers in their own works. Having a good grasp of Western history is also very important, since otherwise you won't understand the context in which these writers are producing their works. If you're brand new to these topics, I recommend Anthony Kenny's An Illustrated Brief History of Western Philosophy for a concise introduction to the subject matter. This book will give you an appreciation of the ground that you will have to cover. You can also check out the 4 vols. of the same author's A New History of Western Philosophy, as well as Bertrand Russell's famous A History of Western Philosophy.

That girl I mentioned last week continues to hold promise, which is nice. I finished Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich, which was interesting enough. I also finally finished Murray Rothbard's Egalitarianism as a Revolt Against Nature which was quite the good read, though I feel fails to address basic cultural concepts and instead relies on freedom too much.

I've started reading The Art of War by Sun Tzu, almost finished the Communist Manifesto.

I need to stop being so lazy with Spanish - which I don't actually want to learn but have to because the college I want to go to requires four LOTE classes...pero ni modo. My Spanish teacher sucks at actually teaching on top of that, so I've resorted to self studying. Which means I'll be making up my own projects to do. It's not so bad, I just am. I just wish I could be using that time to learn German, the language I actually want to learn.

I can't help but constantly be bored nowadays. But I'm not longer constantly tired and my eating habits are back to a more balanced level, which is a plus.

"I deplore what seem to me the prejudice and narrowness of outlook of those whose tastes differ from mine in this respect [relating to discriminatory employment practices] and I think the less of them for it. But in a society based on free discussion, the appropriate recourse is for me to seek to persuade them that their tastes are bad and that they should change their views and their behaviour , not to use coercive power to enforce my tastes and my attitude on others" -Milton Friedman (Capitalism and Freedom , p.111).

What is central to the beliefs of any true liberal is that they entertain the possibility that they may be wrong. We believe that if speech is allowed to be free, 'good' ideas will be more successful in discourse. If we are wrong, then we have done good not to force our wrong ideas on others. If we are right, then our ideas should rise to the top when discussion is free and fair.

yes. trickery is the sine qua non of military strategy. as Sun Tzu writes in The Art of War, "all warfare is deception." the strategist must also time his maneuvers so that he has advantage. but advantage is not only contingent on circumstance, it is also contingent on astrology.

i will extrapolate this to considerations on free will. free will is real; that is we are free to choose the course of our actions, but only within the parameters of the planets. some people are lucky in that their birth charts allow for a great deal of free will, while others are more restricted by the configurations of the planets. yet even individuals whose nativities are restricted by the configurations of their chart still have a modicum of free will.

to return to Operation Barbarossa. It was ill-timed, that is all.

There is always so much I want to talk about here yet I always forget what I wanted to say. Nothing personal going on really. Mostly just bored and want to go out somewhere but I don't know where to. I like to go to the city just to look at it. It is one of my little interests.

I have little hobbies I guess you could say. I love researching about all types of weapons and military vehicles, learning about world history, city planning, architecture, technical aspects of video games and video game consoles, and movies. I have a lot to keep me busy

I am like an elephant I guess. Once I learn something I never forget it. Except for math, I am terrible at that. My main priority in life had been gaining knowledge about anything. I try to learn as much about science, literature, history, and philosophy as I possibly can.

The only problem is that I don't have much of a use for my type of knowledge considering where I am in life right now. I always like to identify with historical characters, especially Fredrick the Great and Napoleon. The problem is that I want to be the next Caeser like they were

I look at where they were when they were my age and where I am and I'm very behind. So I've tried to make up for it by giving myself my own education on the tactics and history of war rather than be at some military school. Thinking is really fun to me. There are three books I always keep with me. Leviathan, a biography of Napoleon, and The Art of War including other eastern classics inside.

I guess you just have to make the best of your position until you can get a better one.

Yesterday I made a reading list in /r/DebateAltRight similar to the one in our wiki. It doesn't look like much now and I don't really know which books to include because I haven't read the majority of the books that people are suggesting and I don't know where to put them. And then there's the issue of not really knowing how important various books are for the list. But I will read more and edit the post in the future so I think it will be pretty good once it is archived. I just started reading The Wealth of Nations. That's going to take some time.

And yes, just one week until Christmas, that's great. I am going home this Thursday or Friday, I don't really have any plans for the winter break (which is too short by the way), but I am looking forward to it, it will be nice to see the family.

I read Capitalism and Freedom by Friedman, pretty interesting read even though I hate the guy.

Also did a re-reading of some of Hitchens his work and came upon this article about his death. According to people who were there, his last words were; "Capitalism ..... Downfall". I now admire the guy even more, although we don't know in what context the words were used.

Edit: As for what I want to read in 2017:

-Some fascist literature from the reading list that was posted a while ago on the sub.

-Something by Zizek, since I have not read any of his books yet (Only listened to lectures/talks).

-Something by Nietzsche to get my anti-theism fired up again.

-A re-reading of Plato's Republic.

-Some more of the works of "Young Marx"

-Economics in general, want to look into a bit more Post-Keynesian theory since it seems interesting.

-Probably just leftist literature in general, whatever comes up and looks interesting.

-I am planning on starting with my exploration of the history of Socialist movements and their controversies, starting with a book on the Russian Revolution. I also received a book about Putin for Dutch christmas, so will probably read that as well.

If you are asking yourself the question; How the fuck do you read so much? I'm still in high school and i'm able to read multiple books at the same time. I generally read like one random book on my computer (Mainly stuff about economics), while reading one or two physical books which I either bought or borrowed from my grandpa (who collects books, he has about 3000 or more).

>Changed your flair again. What number is this? lol Why the change? Glad to see you're around still!

You might as well call me a 'Flair Lord' as I can ~~regenerate into~~ change flairs. ~~I admit that I've looked into the Untempered Selection of Flairs & I haven't felt anything about it.~~ (Any Whovians here?)

Jokes aside, I've started to look more deeply into economics. I decided to read a summary of Adam Smith's 'The Wealth of Nations' (I will get round to reading the actual thing though I may not understand all of what Smith is saying) & I agreed with it. After watching some videos on Youtube & questioning myself, I came to the conclusion that I'm a Capitalist (not of the neoliberal or crony type though).

I haven't read Marx yet because I've been meaning to read Hegel first, and there are frankly thinkers who, at a glance, I find more interesting than either of them.

But I wanted to know: as someone who has read Capital, do you think it's essential to read other economic works before reading it (like maybe The Wealth of Nations)?

Aside from the excellent books /u/BionicTransWomyn provides, I recommend:

• Travels in the Reich: 1933-1945 (a collection of authors, writers, etc. visits to and observations about Nazi Germany)

• Nikolaus Wachsmann's KL (the most comprehensive history of the Holocaust publicly available)

• Thomas Piketty's Capital in the Twenty-First Century (stellar, 15-year study of capitalism served with a side of analysis)

• The Watchman's Rattle

• Most books by Neil Postman (ESPECIALLY Technopoly)

• Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!

• Political Ideologies by Andrew Haywood (an inventory of many ideologies, specifically political. Provides analysis, history, etc. Good primer/introduction to many things).

These are simply some of the best books I have on me/near me at the moment.

Yes, no "basis" under your idea of rights/justification.

>You claim that a democracy could give you the power to enact your policy despite stating that democracy can grant no such right.

I'm not doing mental gymnastics, you simply have reading comprehension problems. Yes, democracy will give me the power to enact my policy. And it doesn't grant rights. Those statements are not mutually exclusive.

You might find Karl Rodbertus, and his ideas, of some interest. Summarized, he believed in a king leading an economy run on state socialism, (essentially state capitalism with redistribution of wealth by the State, in this case). He was among the progenitors of right-wing socialism, and some of his ideas were incorporated into the German Empire under von Bismarck.

Early human kinship was fundamentally matrilineal. Women were much more important than men. Look into the works of Lewis H. Morgan.

Individualism is a modern androcentric conception, collectivism is a much more fundamental historic conception that was birthed out of primitive gerontocratic matrilineal societies.

Also something interesting to think about: Gemeinschaft vs. Gesellschaft: > Peaceful modern societies which respect the individual evolved from age-old familistic ties. The transition from band-type societies, through clan and tribal organizations, into nation-states was peaceful only when accomplished without disruption of the basic ties which link the individual to the larger society by a sense of a common history, culture and kinship. The sense of "belonging" to a nation by virtue of such shared ties promotes cooperation, altruism and respect for other members. In modern times, traditional ties have been weakened by the rise of mass societies and rapid global communication, factors which bring with them rapid social change and new philosophies which deny the significance of the sense of nationhood, and emphasize individualism and individualistic goals. The cohesion of societies has consequently been threatened, and replaced by multicultural and multi-ethnic societies and the overwhelming sense of lost identity in the mass global society in which Western man, at least, has come to conceive himself as belonging.

Corporations and labor are the same - they are both workers and citizens of the state. We work to find the best compromises where corporations can prosper and the workers can find job security and happiness. The key difference between our current globalist corporations and corporations under fascist ideology is the corporation must be beneficial to the national interest which means if they're headquartered in the nation but want only to use out of country labor there's going to be a state-corporate conflict.

fyi the &quot;Fascism is the merger of state and corporate power&quot; quote &quot;by Mussolini&quot; on the internet is fake if you didn't know.

Play the name game all you want with this, Communism is a descendant of the French Revolution. See what Trotsky and Lenin, and of course Marx himself have to say about it.

I've never put all too much stock in methods of quantifying intelligence, but I'll bite I guess. It has some value, but not nearly as much as some think. I've never taken any sort of standard IQ test, but my SAT score was 1260 (+730 writing), which supposedly correlates with about 128 IQ.

I've used the Cambridge Brain Science site to try to train my memory and it came out with a few graphs.

So, my question is: what makes you like National Socialism more than your previous ideology?

I bought the book "The Philosophy of Fascism" by Mario Palmieri on Amazon after seeing a video about it by a Fascist YouTuber.

Well interestingly it tends to be liberals that prioritise means. Milton Friedman, in Ch.2 of Capitalism and Freedom lays out how liberal capitalists regard the market and individual freedoms not as ends but as good means, which to him is in fact the best end.

He also addresses the tendency of totalitarians to claim that the ends always justify the means, and whatever means.

You do seem to approach this differently, and your point is interesting. What would you regard as fascist means? And do you think an end is/can be defined?

Have to say the farthest reaches of the Ottoman Empire (Granada specifically) really interest me along with Japan.

The history, culture, and language are the things that really interest me about them, I'm just now getting interested in these cultures and the only experience I have with Islamic culture is visiting the beautiful Mosque of Cordoba.

I'm now trying to learn more about Japan, specifically Shinto because Theology always interests me. I think it's the Catholic Missionary inside me that just wants to learn about other religions and find the best way to coexist and convert. I haven't found any books that have struck interest with me yet except some of the Theological Stories. So far I'm just using the home library which I swear has everything from The Art of War to SS Battle Tactics. I have found a few books on the Samurai but not as much on modern culture.

Not much is happening with me. I am mostly occupied with my studies as the semester is ending and I'm in the middle of exams. Haven't read much lately except for some comics and The Wealth of Nations which I'm stuck on for more than a month now. I intended to write something for one nationalist magazine this month but didn't so I'm a bit sorry about that.

You will move on eventually, trust me, the pain will subside and you will probably wonder what you ever saw in this girl, having found somebody else who seems to be a better match. I was in your position myself about a year ago and I am doing fairly well now, once again hopeful for the future.

As for the past, I can't control the past but I can learn from it, I can be inspired by it and take it with me into the future (which probably sounds cringey as hell): "as a historian, I know what can be offered".

I would suggest you read some philosophical texts, perhaps that will help you get a handle on your emotions and find some sense of fulfillment that I imagine you feel you can only get from this girl. I'd recommend Meditations by Marcus Aurelius as a start. One thing that has (perhaps paradoxically) helped me is to think of myself as ultimately completely alone in the world, to realise that nobody cares about my problems as much as I do. That way, when you struggle to get up in the morning, you will do it for yourself. When you feel depressed, you will get over it because the only other option is to lie around feeling sorry for yourself and achieving nothing. If Kaitlyn doesn't love you, where is the sense in loving her? I realise it isn't that simple but with enough drive and meditation, it can be.

Ideally they would be educated, given lessons on philosophy (stoicism particularly) and generally taught to improve themselves, 'be the best that you can be' to use a bit of a cliched phrase. The key problem with that type of person in my experience is a kind of self loathing, whiny attitude where they (sometimes literally) wallow in their own filth and misery, constantly complaining but taking no action whatsoever to remedy the situation. They need to get up, have a wash and shave, get dressed in some clean and presentable clothes, eat well, exercise, educate themselves and get cracking. I know that is difficult without motivation but that is where philosophy comes in for me, it can act as a kind of cognitive behavioral therapy. There is a pretty good book called 'Stoicism and the Art of Happiness' that could be prescribed reading for anybody lacking drive and purpose, along with obvious classics like Meditations by Marcus Aurelius.

He wrote books. I've read some of them.

"Capitalism and Freedom"

"Free to Choose"

Not literary books, of course. I'd say he was a part time writer, writing at least a couple books. Mainly an economist though.

>Did you know that during the Depression the USSR was having massive industrial growth?

to quote Hazlitt's Economics in One Lesson:

>Nothing is easier to achieve than full employment, once it is divorced from the goal of full production and taken as an end in itself. Hitler provided full employment with a huge armament program. The war provided full employment for every nation involved. The slave labor in Germany had full employment. Prisons and chain gangs have full employment. Coercion can always provide full employment.

replace "Hitler" with "Stalin," and "Germany" with "Russia" and you have the explanation for Russian industrial success in the Great Depression: 14 hour work days by slaves living under a dictator.

Amazon has an overpriced paperback version: https://www.amazon.com/Doctrine-Fascism-Benito-Mussolini/dp/1682040054

I'm not sure why you would bother buying it, though. The Doctrine of Fascism is more of a pamphlet than a "book." It's so short that you can just print out a PDF and read it, if you really want a physical copy.

I would recommend this really interesting book, "How Britain Initiated Both World Wars" by Nick Kollerstrom. Here's an Amazon link.

https://www.amazon.com/Britain-Initiated-both-World-Wars/dp/1530993180

Fascism:

My Life by Sir Oswald Mosley

National Socialism:

Twilight Over England by William Joyce

I was looking at this Kindle. Is this the one you have?

A few of my friends are telling me to get a tablet and/or Nook but I really like the idea of what a Kindle does and gives the user.

I am still in college (community college) and I went from being an anarchist to a very religious Catholic. Not being able to dismiss the critiques of capitalism that were brought up throughout the years, I became a Distributist. Distributists believe that property is the basis for liberty and that it should be distributed as widely as possible (read: NOT inherently through redistribution), and in the principle of subsidiarity that things should be done as locally as possible. It's an alternative that isn't socialism yet isn't capitalism either.

Right now I'm in the process of reading a book that may change my perspective completely (or compliment it). It's called Redeeming Economics: Rediscovering the Missing Element and it deals with the development of economics and how Adam Smith reduced what they call Scholastic economics (production, exchange, distribution and consumption (utility)), to classical economics (production and exchange). The marginalist revolution later rediscovered utility but economics is still missing the element of distribution. I'm not too far in but I think I'll be calling myself a student of the neo-scholastic school by the time I'm done.

Note that most of the changes resulted from disengaging with the culture and turning my focus to the great intellectuals that lived before us.

>I often wonder the same thing about the English language. What would English sound like/be like had it not imported so many French terms. Would it still be as versatile? It's hard to say.

There's a purportedly good book on this: How We'd Talk If the English Had Won in 1066. I haven't read it myself, though.

https://www.amazon.com/Mussolinis-Intellectuals-Fascist-Political-Thought/dp/0691127905

Look into this book, Spirito is mentioned in one chapter, and there is aslo further reading part for more information.

https://www.amazon.com/Memoirs-Twentieth-Century-Ugo-SPIRITO/dp/9042012420

His autobiography. Well, sort of. He really question his belief system and the course of his life in the context of self-worth and responsibility. Really fascinating read.

>I am influenced by the concept of "Dasein," which refers to "being-in-the-world."

Heidegger had a huge influence on my coming to National Socialism. Just curious, but have you read Heidegger's now-infamous Schwarze Heft (Black Notebooks)? I picked up the hardcover edition but haven't had a chance to really dig in yet. There's also an anthology of essays by Heidegger scholars on the topic released earlier this year by MIT Press, Reading Heidegger's Black Notebooks 1931--1941.

I can't speak for fascists but there is plenty of criticism of the modernist perspective regarding nations and nationalism.

See the following:

Azar Gat - Nations: The Long History and Deep Roots of Political Ethnicity and Nationalism

Anthony D. Smith - The Antiquity of Nations

The G.M.A. Grube version, revised by C.D.C. Reeve (published by Hackett). This is the one I used most often in university.

>The Judeo-Left was protesting with the flags of the "Libyan revolution" against Qaddaffi as well. Then after supporting it, pretend they never did.

I'll go ahead and dispute this one. It may be that CNN/MSNBC etc made it seem like there was some kind of popular support for the Libyan intervention as if it was part of "Arab Spring", but most 'real' leftists and leftist representatives were against it.

Cynthia McKinney (2008 Green presidential candidate) comes to mind as someone who opposed the Libyan intervention both before and after.

In short, it's useful to distinguish b/w the neo-liberal corporate left and the actual activist anti-war left when it comes to issues like this.

As for the Kurds, don't confuse the PKK/YPG with the Peshmerga. For more on the ideology behind the PKK and/or YPG see http://www.freeocalan.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Ocalan-Democratic-Confederalism.pdf

> So my observation should be easily defeatable, yes?

See above.

>That's also convenient for you now isn't it. We need more data, therefore you cannot assert what you are asserting.

Similarly, it is convenient for you to use the time-preference and other concepts in a limited way so as to support your position.

>So what your theory for why the races differ in behavior/culture/IQ/etc? Please tell me you have something better than prejudice and discrimination. I am always open to new evidence and I'd like to know what you come up with to explain why Asians in America are, on net, doing better than blacks. Even though both have faced similar levels of discrimination and prejudice. I'll grant that blacks were indeed treated worse - I don't really recall any Asians being lynched either. But even if you control for that there will still be a difference. Even if you step outside of America this difference is still there. Why have Asians cultures such as the Japanese advanced greatly while Africa has stagnated?

This book will explain it better than I ever could:

Having read it, I can vouch for its quality.

>I'll fly and you drop the bombs.

And we can revel in the clinking of our glasses as we toast to our success!

>Still though, the Fed in the US has been around in it current iteration since 1912 and Americans used to save at the same rate as the Chinese do now. Near zero interest federal notes fuckover the people that have saved though. Which is a shame...

Unfortunately I do not have the knowledge or expertise to comment/add, so I will leave this point unmolested.

Most of them are pretty much unheard of, save for Junger and Spengler. I suppose two of them have a bit of a meme following, but nothing like what you see with Evola (who is worth a read, but only after reading Guenon first). I was extremely lucky to come across some texts in my university library, most of the stuff is nearly impossible to find.

Sometimes you'll find a poorly scanned PDF or an obscenely priced print edition edition. Probably much easier with more than a cursory knowledge of the German language, too.

I can't claim to be an authoritative knowledge on the matter either. I call myself a revolutionary conservative on occasion to stress that radical change is required and acknowledge the virtues of the revolutionary frame of mind.

There are a few really short and well written books out there you could start with, Like Carl Schmitt's Concept of the Political. http://www.amazon.com/Concept-Political-Expanded-Carl-Schmitt/dp/0226738922/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1457296321&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=concept+of+the+political

No particular order:

• Suicide of a Superpower by Pat Buchanan

• Storm of Steel by Ernst Junger

• Marine Sniper by Charles Henderson

• To Hell and Back by Audie Murphy

• Starship Troopers by Robert Heinlein

• Sharpe series by Bernard Cornwell

• The Last Kingdom series by Bernard Cornwell

• American Gun by Chris Kyle

I've read a lot of war memoirs from veterans, probably my favorite type of book. Everything I read involves war and history, which have always been my main interests.

Here's a good intro read:

http://www.amazon.com/Shinto-Kami-Way-Sokyo-Ph-D/dp/0804835578/ref=zg_bs_12482_2/179-9987813-4340850

I'm not a theologian, just guy exposed to something talking about it. But Shinto is a "way" of interacting with the world, seen and unseen. Not really any true "God" with messiahs, apostles, cannon.

What I mean is that people who are devout Christians, for example, would not find much "religion" in Shinto.

Actually it's a great faith (misnomer) for people who want spirituality but not religion.

I wouldn't really take any advice from him tbh.

To just get a beginners look at National Socialism and what it looked like in Nazi Germany, I'd recommend reading "Hitler's Revolution" by Richard Tedor

http://www.amazon.com/Hitlers-revolution-Richard-Tedor/dp/0988368226

If you don't want to spend any money there are several books around that you can download for free.

Savitri Devi also has some good books like " gold in the furnace" And "the Lightning and the sun"( this may not be too good for a Virgin)

That was a happy coincidence haha, if you want more details on deontology and this whole universalization principle, Kants Grounding for the metaphysics of morals is a great book.(Dont know if amazon links are allowed but: http://www.amazon.com/Grounding-Metaphysics-Morals-Supposed-Philanthropic/dp/087220166X )

>It matters very much what Hitler believed, why wouldn't it? Whatever he believed became law, he was dictator, remember?

What he believed and reality were quite often at odds. For example he believed he could defeat the USSR.

All of your sources are bull for the following reasons:

1. They are not peer-reviewed

2. They do not draw on peer-reviewed sources.

3. They avoid any discussion of specific numbers and historical facts, instead focusing on ideology and "how it should have been" as opposed to "how it actually was".

Just read this book, it is the foremost book on Nazi Economy, and should enlighten you better than I ever can.

http://www.amazon.ca/The-Wages-Destruction-Breaking-Economy/dp/0143113208

In that case its good idea just to refer something from Pierre Milza and Robert Paxton. I was checking out the introduction of Avant-garde fascism the other day, and between the introduction's pages of 9 and 10 there's some curious points about the inlaid anti-capitalist tendencies of fascism. Those paragraphs also point out towards the fact that theoretical fascism was never put into action. (Also between pages 5-6 there's a small remark by Zeev Sternhell on uniting proletariat and the bourgeois.)

This model goes on sale for $60 every now and then. I picked up one and use it for reading older texts that are public domain or simply too hard to find in a hard copy. Works great, and at that price pays for itself after only a few books.

I've always suggested Andrew Heywood's: political ideologies because it gives a nice overview of all political ideologies.
