The Wealth of Nations - Adam Smith

Democracy,The God That Failed - Hoppe

I haven't read it, how is it Cred Forums related?

What you need is the Pol Book Mega. I might have the link saved sonewhere. During the "consensus" threads I conceded that the sticky be changed (but not the rules!) to be updated since the Trumpening, to explain about shills, and to permanently and introductorily link the Book List.
Assuming I can't dig it up, consider the Flashman papers. Redpilled, ribald, rigorously historically accurate, by the author of A Good Man In Africa (also Cred Forums).

Brave New World is a good place to start, it's an easy read and relatively aside. Also, even though people have started using the word "Orwellian" to describe anything the government does that they dont like, I would say that our society has become a lot more like BNW than anything Orwell wrote.

Generation Kill is good for those 2003 feels

Yes and no. In the course of defending Trotsky, so hystrionically as to be self-innoculating, it usefully models a lot of other things.
Instead of wanting a one hundred per cent pure savior, a major part of redpilling is learning to harvest that three-quarters that is good in an imperfect source. Orwell's descriptions of Newspeak in 1984 are absolutely irreplaceable and totally relevant.

Pretty funny one by George Lincoln Rockwell

Just start reading and you'll get the theme pretty quickly.

heretical.com/pubs/fabledh.html

The truth is that both models are relevant, they are carrot and stick. The Masters are not true believers, they freely mix both, preferring whichever looks more likely to work.

Reminder that Orwell and Huxley were subversive frankfurt tier socialists who didn't give a fuck about the dystopic future they hypothesized. Their books were literally a blueprint for these technocrat jews to follow. Orwell was a fabian socialist and Huxley was arguably the godfather of mkultra along with his occult faggot shit

Kafka
Nietzsche

Kys in the truest sense of the word, faggot

OP turner diaries is the ONLY book a pollack needs, buy in cash at a gunshow

Great example. Lots of good material, lots of legitimate observations, also a lot of utter nonsense from (((David Simon))). The point is not to memorize it but to learn to read (or view) it like an editior.

Get this

this book has sent me so far down the rabbit hole I just wanna die desu

Since movies are apparently included: White Hunter, Black Heart. Kick-ass movie on its own right. Overlooked. But also, it zeroes in on the emptiness of virtue signalling. Clint Eastwood plays a man whose ego compels him to make big public displays against racism. And it has a major scene that is totally redpilled about a certain religio-ethnic group.

I would add 33 strategies of war by Robert Greene to the list.

Read Heinlein's Starship Troopers and The Moon is a Harsh Mistress if you can dig sci-fi that's a bit dated in tech but spot on for social commentary.

Starship Troopers, nice suggestion!

The History of the Peloponnesian War by Thucydides

Literally the best beginner redpill literature

I just bought this recently and I am waiting for it in the mail. This is the first volume.

Anyone here read it?

Moon is a great book, I just wish Mikes dialogue was better written.

The Missionaries was great.
Short read
The digital version is like $4 on amazon OP

On Jews--
Israel Shahak's Jewish History, Jewish Religion should be the first text. It's very short but complete. After that, the much longer Pol syllabus on Jews:
Lasha Darkmoon on Jewish pseudo-intellectualism
The Artscam lecture at Art Renewal Center
Jews Must Eat
E. Michael Jones -- Jewish Revolutionary Spirit
E. Michael Hoffman -- Judaism's Strange Gods
Kevin MacDonald's central trilogy --
A People That Shall Dwell Alone
Separation And Its Discontents
Culture of Critique (this if nothing else, it explains thought control through media and academic cultural homogenization and centralization)
Esau's Tears
Yankel's Tavern
Solzhenitsyn -- Two Hundred Years Together
Dostoyevsky -- The House Of The Dead
Ignacz Pogonowski -- Jews In Poland
Matthew Raphael Johnson -- various lectures on Poland and Ukraine
Yuri Slezkline -- The Jewish Century
Norman Finkelstein -- The Holocaust Industry
David Cole's Auschwitz video and videos of his media appearances
Victor Ostrovsky -- By Way Of Deception

Harlan Ellison

This too, although I'm really not a fan of islam

BEHOLD

By way of hating Islam and needing opinions to be informed:
nobody has anything to say about Islam until they have read Stephen Coughlin's book Catastrophic Failure. This is the first text on Islam.

Great author. The Road as a piece of fiction is really great.

Everyone on Cred Forums should read this. Or ty to anyway. It's written in a Russian accent.

The guy who wrote Programmed To Kill wrote a stellar analysis of all the connections in 60s SoCal called "Wierd Scenes In The Valley." If possible please buy the actual book new because he passed away (of natural causes!) and the money goes to his family.

It's one of the best I have read too.
Sharp edged, and comprehensive.

Robert Spencer is also quite good t.b.h.

Emmett Scott, for a historic perspective.
Pic related is great

Read Max Stirner and be free

The Prince by Machiavelli
gutenberg.org/ebooks/1232

Jews Must Live by Samuel Roth
jrbooksonline.com/roth.htm

Unabomber manifesto is an interesting read, rips on liberals a lot and brings up a lot of points that are hard to argue with. Gets weird when he starts talking about killing people though.

They are talking a lot about fall of democracy and start of neofeudalism. It's quite good actually.

...

Wut

There's a couple more good books on Islam I cannot properly remember the author for:
The Myth of the Andalusian Paradise neutralizes this nonsense about Muslim-occupied Spain being some sort of multikulti utopia.
And Robert Irwin refutes Edward Said's nonsense claim that nobody can have an opinion about a tradition that they were not born into (the point of Said's influential but incoherent book Orientalism) with pro-Orientalist books like A Dangerous Knowledge.

Jews Must Live is very good, I have misrepresented it upthread as Jews Must Eat.

you aren't ready for this redpill

Kafka

Know how all serial killers are white christian heterosexual men who were abused as kids and kill as part of a sex thing?
Right? I mean, everybody knows that. Right? That was a theme used by multiple comedians and twitter-users: serial killers are always white. Think of Dexter. Think of Hannibal Lecter. Think of Zodiac. Think of Seven. Think of Psycho.

>everything by Marx
U wot m8?

This. He actually says at the beginning that he is going to do his best to be objective. It cannot be exaggerrated what a uniquely Occidental thing that is. Almost no nonwhites have any concept of objective reality. All their craziest actions come from their belief that nobody can be honest and everything anybody ever said was just interested partisan negotiation.

If you like science fiction John Ringo, Tom Kratman, and Michael Z. Williamson are all pretty Cred Forums tier.

Tom Kratman's book "Caliphate" is pretty great,
>In the future the Muslims take over Europe
>massive terror attacks cause Americans to elect a far right wing president who wages war on Muslims and recolonizes the Philippines for some reason
>main story takes place in the future where American supersoldiers fight the swarms of Caliphate Muslims who have taken over Europe.
It's crazy that you can buy it at Barnes and Noble, if liberals actually read sci-fi instead of complaining about it not being diverse or whatever they'd probably want it banned.

Mein Kampf

S. M. Stirling's Drakon
Amid a framework of unapologetic and scientifically explained violent femdom, Stirling lampoons leftists who bend over backwards to sell out their planet.

>Thinking you can speak about Marxism without reading it
>Thinking Cred Forums related reading means locking yourself into an echo chamber of self confirmation bias
>Not getting you need to read from a broad range of various thought

long live comrade napoleon

Marxism is dead, m8. No governments use it anymore. Universities don't use it anymore. Not even the left cares about it.

There are plenty other more relevant leftist theories to study. Some of which are loosely based on marxism.

this book was disturbingly prophetic, way more so than 1984. The biggest stand out is the obsession with shallow consumerism and the loss of any sort of real values.

It's lying. You can know something is a lie without being able to recite every detail. In fact, only a cultist thinks that familiarity with the esoterica of the cult is a prerequisite for duscussion.

Poetry: Ezra Pound, TS Eliot

Prose: Tolstoy

Have you heard Huxley's address on Brave New World Revisited?

S.M. Stirling's works are pretty good all around. The Draka books always struck me as a little odd, like supposedly the Draka are the result of everything going as "wrong" as possible but their society is depicted as borderline utopian once they're done suppressing the initial rebellions.

S.M. Stirling in general flirts with the redpill, liberal characters are usually depicted as idiots and their political beliefs almost always get them killed, but at the same time he's too much of a hippy to really embrace right wing ideals. Also it was pretty fucking hilarious when he got banned from Alternatehistory.com for "advocating genocide" after he said he wished all the radical Muslims would die. An author who is a pillar of the genre banned from its largest forum because some leftist mod got pissy, that's why we can't have nice things.

gtfo -- you realize this is Cred Forums, right? So unless you think the takeaway from animal farm or 1984 is that a totalitarian state is good and you will vote for Trump... yea, this is not a pol approved book.

you should start with books by Goebbels, such as My Part in Germany's Fight

nice digits

the version I read had a foreword written by him as an old man looking back on the book and what he got right/wrong about it. I assume that's what you're talking about. Still I'm pretty sure it was written in the 50s so it was still way before this crazy global nightmare zone we've entered now, he was far too ahead of the curve to even see it himself from what I understand.

Tbh without going deep into philosophy, economics and cultural critique you're best to continue on with some fiction.

1984 & Animal farm a great, you should continue on with Aldous Huxley and of course Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand.

When you want to start getting into non-fiction I'd recommend The Law by Frederic Bastiat, it's short and powerful and introduces a lot of right wing concepts.

All the anti-jew, anti-sjw conspiracy shit in this thread I have no idea about and would never personally read. Stick to some good fiction, some deep non-fiction and then delve into conspiracy theories afterwards if you want, so you don't corrupt your foundation with unnecessary bias.

What people really should be reading: Introductory books.

Go for books with titles named something along the lines of:

'Introduction' to political philosophy
'Foundations' of economics
'Theories' of governance
'Overview' of western history
'Guide' to statistics

Books that explain a broad field with a short explanation of all the major theories.

Don't be a fucking beginner and try to pick up a 400 year old, thousand page, book and think you can get a solid overview of all of political science from it.

You can study the individual books later, when you've read tons of generalized ones.

Think of it like lifting. Start with the compound exercises that hits your whole body at once. Squats, deadlifts, benchpress, etc.
Only when you have acquired starting strength can you then move on to those little nifty isolation exercise that makes you spend a lot of time targeting one individual muscle.

Also, reading classic fiction is good for you as well.

>Shillary was alinsky's protege

I'm not a cultist or a marxist, I just get that you need to read broadly to get a grasp of whats going on in the world.

Beyond Good And Evil-Nietzsche

Blood Meridian- Cormac McCarthy

...

Not in that example you don't.

he just bashed hitler because him and his MK-Ultra doctors were jealous that Hitler mastered propaganda and used it for good

this

also, Xenophon's Conversations of Socrates, Hesiod's Works and Days, and Raspail's The Camp of Saints.

Bought it on amazon and finished his book in 2 days. I'm gunna buy eveything else he's written too.

Alinsky should always be mentioned with the Glenn Ford movie Trial, which has nothing to do with Kafka's The Trial, because Trial is essentially a narrative dramatization of Rules For Radicals, augmented with solutions and explanations.
Notice that I am talking about overlap, not derivation. Rules obviously came out later. However Alinsky did not compose it entire, he was writing down in one place a body of knowledge that predated the book, was on clear display in public political radicalism, and which same set of techniques is unmistakable in Trial.

wealth of nations is a must read

the only economic treatise you will ever need

Camp of he Saints is an amazing book, perhaps more televant than any ither go our current situation. Your hair will stand on end as you read this description from the 70s of exactly what is happening now, exactly how it is happening, with alarming descriptions of the people and how they justify doing nothing to themselves.

Machiavelli

I made two of my sweet female friends this.
I think I might have killed their faith in humanity, not exactly what I was going for desu. Sometimes taking a huge part of the red pill is too much, smaller doses are recommended.

Orwell was never a Fabian and in fact wrote against them on several occasions

>The ugly fact is that most middle-class Socialists, while theoretically pining for a class-less society, cling like glue to their miserable fragments of social prestige....The Coles, Webbs, Stracheys, etc., are not exactly proletarian writers...Sometimes I look at a Socialist — the intellectual, tract-writing type of Socialist, with his pullover, his fuzzy hair, and his Marxian quotation — and wonder what the devil his motive really is. It is often difficult to believe that it is a love of anybody, especially of the working class, from whom he is of all people the furthest removed. The underlying motive of many Socialists, I believe, is simply a hypertrophied sense of order. The present state of affairs offends them not because it causes misery, still less because it makes freedom impossible, but because it is untidy; what they desire, basically, is to reduce the world to something resembling a chessboard. Take the plays of a lifelong Socialist like Shaw. How much understanding or even awareness of working-class life do they display? ... You get the same thing in a more mealy-mouthed form in Mrs Sidney Webb's autobiography, which gives, unconsciously, a most revealing picture of the high-minded Socialist slum-visitor. The truth is that, to many people calling themselves Socialists, revolution does not mean a movement of the masses with which they hope to associate themselves; it means a set of reforms which 'we', the clever ones, are going to impose upon 'them', the Lower Orders.

- The Road to Wigan Pier

Not sure if this is an argument.

"Island" from Aldous Huxley. It's unbelievable how this book is totally ignored. Huxley understand his mistakes in the (sad) end of his life and wrote a kind of utopian book, trying to figure out a real functionality society, with less oppression and less mistification. No place for typical googles and skypes.

>reading stuff that challenges my worldview is scary
Never change Cred Forums.

My device is acting strangely. I thinkyou get the point. Raspail perfecty foresaw the migrant crisis and the reaction by media and government.
What does it mean when you have to type very slowly to get anything across? Have my settings been changed?

This, Orwell was a nominal Socialist at a time when evey educted person was, but kept his eyes open and wrote objecively and invaluably. His Trotskyism was a way of opposing Stalin.

idk what you mean man. I understood you fine, I was agreeing with you. It's an uncanny parallel.

Check out "Behold A Pale Horse" by William Cooper

On Jews and Their Lies - Martin Luther

Book of Five Rings

in combat or in business or in life, its easy to think about honor and higher purposes,

all of that is a lie, the Truth is cold and unforgiving. You have to throw off childish notions of fairness and honor and fight like a clever, savage animal when appropriate. You need to cultivate that mindset a priori and hope you never have to use it.

Marx is exhaustively longwinded, but without logic or a point, and he's a liar. In fact I have read some Marx and some Bakunin. All I got out of it was that I had wasted my time. If Marx was so brilliant then why did you need Gramsci? Have you read Cohn-Bendit or Debray?

This

Brave New World - Aldous Huxley for sure, more accurate than 1984 ever was.

the programmed to kill series on youtube has got to be the freakiest, most unholy shit i've ever seen.

i feel like demons are trying to enter my soul and I rarely get freaked out by shit. Watch some of it late at night for the chills.

Right, but admittedly there are those annoying spelling errors. I type too fast for my keypad, whole words are swallowed up, certain letters need ten seconds of pressure.

maybe your keyboard is fucked up?

Seek out Cooper's explanation of the film 2001: A Space Odyssey. I never thought I would hear such an elegant explanation.

honestly I didn't even notice there were any errors till you mentioned them. But I see why you're concerned now that I see them.

make sure the cord is plugged in all the way and that there are no breaks (like free hanging wires) in the cord. Also, try switching to a different usb port on your pc, it could be the port that is fucked up.

1984 and farenheit 451. Both very good reads and also relevant. Also read some philosophy on Plato and Aristotle and their effects on western world.

don't listen to this untermensch

You will find that the surest way to censor a book is ambiguity. No ideology can easily claim Island. It escapes pigeonholes so it escapes recommendations.

The Moon is a Harsh Mistress is a great read

It isn't that kind. Think I've got it now, thanks. There are times when I could swear it's ... content-related, like when the capcha images are what you had been discussing ...

Evola always comes up in these discussions. I bought Ride the Tiger though and couldn't make it through 2 chapters. Shit is unreadable. Maybe it's different in Italian. Any anons read it and enjoy it ?

it's pretty fucking dense, and I think Evola was assuming a familiarity with the existential philosophy going on at the time.
Try Revolt Against the Modern World. MUCH more easily read, and an interesting take on ancient civilizations.

idk man

Surprise, most people cannot write for shit

Simple, but effective.
If you have kids you should make them read it. If you haven't read it, the fuck is wrong with you?

You might laugh, but I guarantee you that Bill Clinton will get very sick or die and Hillary will get the sympathy vote despite being a lying psychopath

Not even meming, that book really made me think as a kid.

Starship troops and Moon are great reads.
Also check out 48 laws of power, The Art of War, Phillip K Dick, Bukowski, Dostoevsky A little Kerouac... agh literature can become so demanding

Also as corny as it sounds... The Bible seems to float most of the story premises we know today... You can even make literal comparisons between material from Paul to his various missions and epistles to David's varied material in different situations.

I assure you all that I do not fuck dog.

Culture of Critique is pretty much necessary.

You can't argue with liberals without at least basic knowledge of Marx and to some degree Hegel.
Take the progress as an example. If you have an idea about marxism you understand why do they rally behind that cause and can argue against them more effectively by calling them out on delusions about it.

What is the general consensus around listening to the audio book versions? I only ask because I usually don't have (or make) a whole lot of time on my hands to sit down and read. And I usually have an hour half when I'm driving too and from work.
I recently finished listening to the Turner Diaries. Soon to listen to
-The Iron heel by Jack London
-The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene
-Economics in One Lesson by Henry Hazlitt

I do have ebooks on my phone if I ever get the time to read and have Mein Kampf, Wall Street & The Rise of Hitler, 1984, Animal Farm, Generation Identity, The Decline of the West, The Iron Heel, The Wasp Question, Gorilla Mindset and the Story of Mohammed: Islam unveiled.

I do want to read or listen to more. I would buy the hard copies but all together from what I've listed would have cost me $200+.

Jesus. Even on Cred Forums you have to start with the greeks...

Homage To Catalonia and reading about the Spanish Civil War is what made me realize what a crock of shit the Barcelona story is

>More enthusiasm than sense
>Killing priests and monks in the most Catholic country in Europe
>Pissing off your COMINTERN and Republican allies
>Pissing off Uncle Joe
>Muh Catalonian Independence

It is tragic when Orwell talks about the roundup of the anarcho-socialists- but Goddamn, those guys deserved it.

>>Killing priests and monks in the most Catholic country in Europe
This effectively ended the war for the Republican side at its inception by alienating the peasants it claimed to be "liberating".
