Never thought we'd reach the day that Mein Kamph is okay but a random kids book isn't because we have to protect trans youth. I had to read Mein Kamph for my history class in college and it was about as educational as reading a schizos ramblings.

Afaik barely anyone bought the book back then either, until hitler took power and handed it out in schools and such.

People bought the book to show allegiance. If you didn't have it, maybe you were a subversive. Hitler himself actually got rich specifically from the royalties as a result.
But yeah I don't think people actually read it. You just _had_ to have it on your coffee table in case they came knocking.

I've read books from authors fresh out of college that made more sense. If you told me he was tripping on acid when he wrote that garbage it would make more sense.

There's a reason Communists love talking about all the books they read, but unironic fascists don't. One ideology absolutely had better writers.

The next commie I find who has gone through Das Kapital will be the first.
I bailed out at like 100 pages

Das Kapital is midwit-tier derivative garbage.
Capital in the 21st century is somehow both a better economic text and generally more radicalizing as a description of how market forces will eliminate payments to labor as industry evolves.
Both will prevent you from getting any kitty if you talk about it

Nietzche is basically the 1800s dril equivalent.

A post worthy of a new kind of man, not blinded by the foppish and womanly comparison to the slave movements of his era. Compare? Rather KILL-Pare apart these clouds of nothingness for that inner drum- that vital sinew.

Communists smugly tell others to "read theory" while never doing so themselves. I've read Das Kapital, at least. It's outdated and shit.

Everytime I read about some event in Mussolini's life after meeting Hitler I start to feel bad for him. Then I remember that he chose that path of idiocy and had no one to blame but himself, and the feeling quickly subsides.

You do get the sense the Mussolini was just sort of a dramatic Italian larper who got a little too real with it and somehow got looped in with actual German sickos

Lmao u can easily analyse a transphobic childrens book to learn more about the author, the nature of transphobia and the methods used to communicate those ideas by the author
Thats the very nature of deconstruction
