essential texts on libertarian socialism?
How in the fuck would that work? Is it just a small-scale commune that labels itself libertarian for some reason?
anarchy.
kropotkin and bakunin are key writers.

why does it matter how it would work?
I've never read the book and I've only seen this clip from the movie. Am I supposed to hate this character?
>>7848233
No, you're just supposed to think he's pretentious.
>>7848233
I thought there were aspects of the movie that were genuinely pretty good. But yeah, it's natural to hate most of it because chances are you aren't a 14-year-old girl.

Am I really? I thought Mr. Green was trying to write a deep character? So this scene is really supposed to sound like bullshit?
And but so, some retard tried to eat Infinite Jest.

Is there something terribly sad and banal about this?
why do people mock wallace and his work like this? is it because his refusal to debase himself with irony is unacceptable and incomprehensible to those who are incapable of honesty?

Why didn't Penelope and son just ask the suitors to leave?
which works of dickens have you read?
how did you feel about them? which did you like the most? why?
this year i've read great expectations, david copperfield, and a tale of two cities and i found them all to be amazing. two cities was the most urgent and concise but i felt that great expectations was more complete. copperfield is hella bloated but still felt worthwhile. basically every paragraph he writes is good. damn.
>even during yuro hours these cunts on /lit/ still don't care about the greatness of dickens
shit a windmill
he's pleb sentimental shit. garbage prose too.
I have read those three, hard tomes, and bleak house ... obviously his talent for creating characters in a few brush strokes is a strength, and he is very much a writer of depicting social problems in entertaining ways, something later american naturalists made more dry and boring, less eccentric. Barkis is willing. Bleak house features a spontaneous combustion and an unending legal battle, showing us the legal system was always an intermnable glacier motivated by money. Great writer.
Thought about reading pic related. Do I have to read anything beforehand?

>Plato's Republic was really a quirky action-adventure romance about a quirky princess with newly-discovered magical powers who must save the kingdom and at the same time navigate an awkward love triangle with her in the middle.
Write the most batshit, outlandish, avant garde, post-metamodernist (etc.) shit you can think of off the top of your head.

Kangaroo notebook?

Haley Carnasus, Parsimons ate, and spit seeds out like God spit men out of Eden, and stepped upon the seeds that they might split, and never sprout, and nothing be of them ever but as salted earth and dessert upon mars beneath sun within world beneath creation of god of things unknown to man who was by god made who by man is worshiped beneath sun.

Reading this fucking nonsense, still confused as fuck 50 pages in. What the fuuuuuuck is a sovereign relation of ban? What the fuck is nomos basileus? Why is this cunt even talking about metaphysics and Aristotle? Does this piece of shit even follow any logical structure or is that too much to expect from the fucking continent?

Could this man be considered a philosopher?
Sure, he did some research on scientific matters, such as urinary and fecal incontinence (Screw cancer, let's make advancements on the art of pee and poo), but most of his claims are very subjective and opinion-based, particularly on "the future of and illusion" and "civilization and it's malcontents".
Is he the father of psichoanalysis? A philosopher on disguise? A cocaine-addicted hobo?
Read Freud As Philosopher. Might help to read Lacan too.
>>7847186
Yes he is the father of psychoanalysis. But he isn't a philosopher because 1. His theories were gathered from case studies and is centered around the analytic situation. 2. He's more concerned with answers rather than questions.
Only if you read objective psych to go with your subjective psych.

Why or why not?

Do You know some good historical novels to learn history?
I miss the times when I was not paying much attention to the lessons of history, as I regret it, but I find it hard to read the essays. I find them very boring. I prefer to live adventures and, at the same time learn a little something.
