Banned books discussion thread

From the list:

• The Turner Diaries was crap. It's obvious from the way they're written that the dude was super into the soc part of natsoc which is very cringe.

• Expedient Homemade Firearms was interesting from an intellectual standpoint but the author is very aware that these are not good designs, just the absolute bare minimum.

• I've read several of Evola's books including Ride the Tiger and Revolt Against the Modern World and while he's got a point, it was nothing new to me since I grew up with an involved father.

• The Slaughter of Cities was a slog. Correct, but dense to read.

• Democracy - The God That Failed was good. Hoppe is the only influential libertarian who understands that it's not for everyone.

• Improvised Munitions Handbook TM 31-210 is great fun, made my teenage years better for sure.

• Two Hundred Years Together was definitely worth reading, as is Solzhenitsyn's other famous book The Gulag Archipelago

• No idea why Tarnsman of Gor is on there, it's a bit coomer but it's hardly The Story of O or the Hundred Days of Sodom.

• Germany Must Perish! was a book. Not good, but I wasn't expecting it to be. Antisemites love to quote it because a jew wrote it, but it's just wartime propaganda. Vicious and the author was definitely breathing too heavily when he wrote it sure, but propaganda nevertheless

• Mein Kampf isn't as bad as people claim.

Not on the list but should be:

• Voluptuous Panic was certainly an eye-opener, even for someone used to gay degen behaviour

• If You Give a Gay Their Way wasn't particularly well written, but it's an extremely comprehensive look into the mindset of anti-homos

• Ecodefense: A Field Guide to Monkeywrenching is a neat look into extremist beliefs and actions, similar to our beloved uncle Ted's manifesto

• Camp of the Saints was difficult to get through because it's typical fr*nch writing, but it was prescient

• The World Book Encyclopedia 1974
