It's /lit/ until you invade Poland, then it's /pol/.

You should ask when does a piece become art, and use the example of somebody's random stick figure sketch compared to the mona lisa.

The safest/least exciting answer is that it's a social consensus on what we recognise as artistic.

Well yeah that's the question but it's really hard to say.

If it's a book it's literature. this is the only objective standard to determine what literature is. anything else is the second rate opinion of a smug liberal crybaby who wants /lit/ to be his hugbox

Seems kinda true. Anything someone doesn't like will be deemed to not be "literature."

You seem to be implying that the greatest work of the 20th century might not be literature? Why?

>An Austrian laments over the death of his country; weeping, he grasps a pistol and fights for his brothers in Munich.

>>7322981
yes

if we can discuss much more dangerous books like the bible or the ego and it's own here then i don't see why mein kampf would be banned

Literature is any work, short or long, which is nearly exclusively composed of a written language.

It's certainly literature--but certainly shit.

Tell that to the people who want philosophy off of /lit/

Has anyone here actually read Mein Kampf?

Is it really as boring as people say?

>>7323867
chapters about ww1 and his propaganda/speech principles stand out. rest is shit. quality fluctuation betrays what he really cared about.

>>7323867
I was bored once when reading the book. If that qualifies as "boring" i don't know, but the book did change me. It would be weird if it didn't, being as it's basically the manifesto of the most important figure in recent human history.

/his/ was a fucking mistake

Mein Kampf isn't really a standard book. It was written by Rudolph Hess while Hitler was in prison and dictated his thoughts to Hess. It wasn't even edited.
