NEW Zig Forums reading list

so… turns out vol. 2 is corrupted and won't display. For now there's only this. Oh well, continuing dump.

Tiqqun, Invisible Commitee, Dauve, or other communization please.

I've never actually bothered to check it, I thought it was just talking about theory like in the cybernetics threads.

Well, I should have mentioned, but I save less the more fringe things unless it's reactionary to study their thinking. I have Dauve tho.

It's another useless PDF dump thread just like this.

theanarchistlibrary.org/category/author/comite-invisible
theanarchistlibrary.org/category/author/tiqqun
libcom.org/tags/tiqqun

Don't read Dauve he's trash and will make you dumber.

marx.2u.hu/
This is a collection of mostly Marxist pdfs in Hungarian. You can find here among other things the works of Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin and Plato in their entirety, a lot of books written under socialism covering a wide range of topics, several relics like reports about the MSZMP's party congresses which would make any real ☭TANKIE☭ cum in an instant and a number of books written by Rousseau, Hegel, Lukács and Rosa Luxemburg.

Also these.

Speaking of Lukács.

What's so bad about Dauve?

Why does Reddit like "gay communism" so much?

Because they're faggots.

He's pretentious, dishonest and stupid. Just look at the PDF in they are celebrating "communisation" like it's some new, groundbraking theory, but if you read the "in a nutshell" section, it's just the anarchist concept of social revolution rebranded. It's pretty ironic that he likes to drop Debord's name so much because Dauve's work is pretty characteristic of the Spectacle.

Isn't a Zig Forums meme? I'm pretty sure that it would too sexist for them or something and the word cultural capitalism was only really used by le racist transphobic islamophobic cocaine man from the Balkans.

I see, is all Marxist communization just pretentious ancom? And if so, should I just stick to Tiqqun and Invisible Committee?

I highly recommend this. It's Coming Insurrection but better

First book I read was Capital tbh.

What you recommend people is dependent primarily on how much spare time they've got. Obviously somebody working 9to5 doesn't have time to read three volumes of Capital, but a University student or NEET has ample time to get to grips with it.

Also, while Mandel's book is a great introduction, I also think it would be a good idea to include the abridged version of Capital Vol. 1 by Ruehle. I haven't read it myself, but I skimmed it and it seems pretty good.

Plz post short to mid-length essays, no specific topic

Asking for some recommendations bois.
What would you recommend to read when it comes to Adorno and I guess the Frankfurt school in general. It's peaked my interest as someone with some nationalistic tendencies, also I guess to answer the cultural marxism meme.
Would you have anything that I could recommend to a friend. Like a month ago he was a /V/irgin lolbert who got into ancap shit because of memes. He's becoming very seriously depressed, and it's obviously due to the current atmosphere of things, he's pretty much got no reason to live outside of consuming more shit and dosen't completely realise it. but I have no idea to make him conscious of what's going on. So I guess just general shit to try make him a little class conscious, and maybe some mutualist, egoist or libsoc stuff.

I'm bumping the thread. I'm out of town so I can share my PDF but it's better I bump this now than forgot in 3 days

"The Decline of Socialism in America: 1912-1925"

Here's a pretty great book on the history of the Socialist Party in America, mostly focusing on its peak & fall. I read it irl a while back, now I found a djvu file, converted it to pdf & added a bunch of bookmarks & links throughout to help reading. Hope people can make use of it, and come to a better understanding of the strong & overlooked history of Socialism in America! (I'm also working on reading some books about the early Communist movement & other strong labor movements)

Apparently it's slightly too big in file size, even tho its just like 300 pages, whatever -

ufile.io/7c565

^ A crappy link to download it, it'll expire in 30 days tho, hopefully someone with more skills than I could compress it?

DE LEONIST READING BLS THANKS

Ehh not necessarely. No matter how much time you got, in the modern day asking someone to read a book is hard enough, if it's even a long one you have close to zero chance of them doing it.
If instead you give them a very simple and digestible 20 pages summary you may hook them up to something more serious. It worked for me, still a brainlet but slowly getting better.
good point

This cartoon makes me depressed. Why can't you read theory but also be a deep tanned hypersexual 10/10 slut
Also who the hell goes from fascism to social democracy? other than me, kinda

Just look at this comrade's gets. Their needs must be seen to!

Anarchist Library, Marxists.org, and Libcom should have most things, though some works on Marxists gets taken down by copyright or whatever.

Why not both?
For that matter why not take over >>>/pdfs/ and >>>/pdf/ Both are neglected Zig Forums outposts, for now. . . .

The authors or publishers want your money.
Ask publishers or authors who get their work posted on there.

Why don't we make a non-theory reading chart? With great books about history, anthropology, sociology, journalism etc. that everyone interested in leftism should read.

These are charts I made basically covering DiaMat, and Marxian Economics from beginner status to literally everything you need to know. Would definitely like to see a Socialist history chart, though.

You don't have to read Descartes and chug your way through the entire history of philosophy before Marx. Just reading the Dialectical Logic book will do (Ilyenkov goes over everything you need to know in the beginning concerning Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz, Kant, etc. before touching upon Hegel and Marx).

So I could read Dialetical Logic and go straight to Marx and Engels?

Start with Plato, then Ilyenkov.

communization is everything anarchism wishes it could be

I don't think anarchists want to be autistic academics who are too busy mystifying their theories to leave their armchairs.

getout

Anarchism wants to be anarchism that pretends not to be anarchism? Hot take.

Only Stirner comes to mind

Sorry but I don't have much of FS. I have some of the essential Adorno and next I'll post Marcuse.

Also to everyone else that posts a bunch of PDFs it would be helpful if you accompanied your post with the pic of the writer if there's room, so newcomers in the thread could quickly find their way through.

And now for Marcuse. His files are pretty heavy so it's gonna be a string of posts.

I should mention that book is about Benjamin's ideas. Chaya, would you say it's a good overview of the man and his philosophy?

moar Marcuse

...

Because people have the right to be lazy and it's unlikely they'd go lots of old threads on multiple boards that they're unlikely to even be aware of just to find something they were interested in.

Besides, I've already went through that trouble myself, that's where I got the Marcuse PDFs. What I want is that newcomers to the board would have an easy way finding various writers condensed in either of the two threads. Also I want this thread to be more organized than the previous one so you don't need to read every post in order to not miss some particular book.

That's the idea actually. Although I've already probably posted some that were mentioned in the previous thread.

somebody make a fucking Mega instead of all this shit

I've actually made a mega folder a long time ago. It went under the radar and it pretty much means that these threads are far more comfortable for people than sifting through Mega folders. And that the mods are too sleazy to notice something useful to sticky.

Anyway, it's not that good either because there are always new books to add, and unless someone wants to become the Zig Forums librarian it's not gonna fly. Besides, this thread is meant precisely for books that weren't posted there, books that can be only vaguely connected to leftism but still useful like

Here are the mega folders:
Marx and Engels complete works:

No one liked my idea? ;_;

Great. I really liked One-Dimensional Man.

That's what I wanted to this thread to (partially) be. I really should have emphasized it more, thanks user.

Two more to go. 1/2

2/2
And that's it for Marcuse with lastly an overview of the Frankfurt School.

Any good books on/by Bakunin and the other anarchists in the First Internationale?

Attached: 1467565367169.jpg (900x762, 301.97K)

And now here are some PDFs about just what you asked for.

But the negative nancies ITT have a point, so in order that this doesn't become just a repetition of the first reading thread and /theory/ thread, I propose two new rules:

1. Don't post requests until you've skimmed/ctrl+f through the other two threads for your author/book.

2. To make sure this thread has more resources than empty posts try to attach a relevant file(s) every time you post. The file doesn't has to be strictly related to leftism.

Attached: Social Action and Human NAture - Honneth.pdf (The Nature of Human Brain ….pdf)

look for "Bakunin on Anarchy" in the Zig Forums folder

Here's a book on non-lolbert praxeology for a change. According to the user that originally shared it in a different thread, it was written by a socialist. Given that the guy lived this long in the USSR and reached a prestigious position it's safe to say it's applicable to a leftist perspective.

Stories, Theories and Things
Christine Brooke-Rose

How we're going to save the old thread?

What was that book I saw someone make a thread about. user described it as a modern Capital for smart people because it gave mathematical equations for everything. I know someone who might be able to read it or something similar who isn't leftist but is open to questioning capitalism. It might convince him if the equations are sound.

That spectrum is basically how I progressed politically.

Any books about education in socialist states or goals of education in socialism?

I've read Paolo Freire's Pedagogy of the Oppressed but that's about it. Everything else I've read is mostly neolib bullshit.

all I have, also check here for Stirner's "The False Principle of Our Education"

Read Paolo Freire's other books & articles?

Why would lazy people read the small library of books you have dumped?

Ok, I'll explain without hyperbole. People, especially newcomers onto this board, will more likely read books they're presented with - if they're interested - instead of scavenging for titles across multiple threads and multiple boards.

I'd move it down at least two places, it's really tough for someone supposedly just leaving Econ 101.

Alex Anievas dump

Some really great perspectives on Marxist International Relations / Imperialism theory. The best one is definitely How the West Came to Rule. If you read one book on the history of the rise of capitalism, this is the one.

Splitting for size, the first are his books, the second are his edited collections (cataclysm is especially good)

Is he your prof?

You do realize that honeybee social structure is more similar to that of fascism than communism right? It's collectivization under the purpose of serving authority.

However Fascism highly encouraged privatization instead of collectivism

Sure, but what difference does it make to lack private property when the social structure tp ehich you are subject to respects neither bodily autonomy nor personal property.
If humanity adopted such a structure, it would probably be less sustainable then fascism.
