Can music be a literary achievement?

Prose - Literature
Verse - Literature
Lyric - Not literature
This is not a judgement on quality. But it is something the Nobel Committee, in their quest for relevance, has overlooked.

I had more fun and fulfillment reading this than any Shakespeare, Joyce, Kafka, Tolstoy, Hemingway, Spenser, Chekhov, Dante etc that I have read.

>Although appearing left wing my training is really Fascistic—not ”Fascistic” as Marxist rhetoric defines it but as Mussolini defined it: in terms of the deed & the will, with reality de-ontologized, reduced to mere stuff on which the will acts in terms of deed. Since few living people correctly understand (genuine) Fascism, my ideology has never been pejoratively stigmatized by the left, but those to whom I appeal are in essence the core-bulk of latent masses, the fascist mob. I speak of & for the irrational & the anti-rational, a kind of dynamic nihilism in which values are generated as mere tactics. Thus my real idol is Hitler, who starting out totally disenfranchised rose to total power while scorning wealth (aristocracy) plutocracy to the end. My real enemy is plutocracy; I’ve done my (Fascistic) homework.[…] My fascistic premise is: ”There is no truth. We make truth; what we (first) believe becomes objectively true. Objective truth depends on what we believe, not the other way around.” This is the essence of the Fascist epistemology, the perception of truth as ideology imposed on reality—mind over matter.

It's honestly a pretty nuanced and explosive view, I doubt even /pol/-tards would totally agree with it, because it also has the postmodern/mystical aspect to it they so hate (Reality is completely subjective). But then again, /pol/ isn't really a coherent group.

No. And fascism cannot operate on subjective idealism.
>Like all sound political conceptions, Fascism is action and it is thought; action in which doctrine is immanent, and doctrine arising from a given system of historical forces in which it is inserted, and working on them from within (1). It has therefore a form correlated to contingencies of time and space; but it has also an ideal content which makes it an expression of truth in the higher region of the history of thought (2). There is no way of exercising a spiritual influence in the world as a human will dominating the will of others, unless one has a conception both of the transient and the specific reality on which that action is to be exercised, and of the permanent and universal reality in which the transient dwells and has its being. To know men one must know man; and to know man one must be acquainted with reality and its laws. There can be no conception of the State which is not fundamentally a conception of life: philosophy or intuition, system of ideas evolving within the framework of logic or concentrated in a vision or a faith, but always, at least potentially, an organic conception of the world.
>(2) Today I hold that Fascism as an idea, a doctrine, a realization, is universal; it is Italian in its particular institutions, but it is universal in the spirit, nor could it be otherwise. The spirit is universal by reason of its nature. Therefore anyone may foresee a Fascist Europe. Drawing inspiration for her institutions from the doctrine and practice of Fascism; Europe , in other words, giving a Fascist turn to the solution of problems which beset the modern State, the Twentieth Century State which is very different from the States existing before 1789, and the States formed immediately after. Today Fascism fills universal requirements; Fascism solves the threefold problem of relations between State and individual, between State and associations, between associations and organized associations. (Message for the year 1 October 27, 1930, in Discorsi del 1930, Milano, Alpes, 1931, p. 211).

Where does the notion that fascism is based on the repudiation of objective reality come from? The mistaken but sadly common identification of fascism with the philosophy of Nietzsche?

Is there a correlation between leftism and mental illness? It seems like almost every postwar leftist writer was either a drug addict, depressed, sexually perverted and/or suicidal.

What do you think?

>>9760636
There is a correlation between monotheism and pedophilia. There is a correlation between right-wing philosophy and fascism. There is a correlation between left-wing philosophy and communism.

I have also wondered why people who identify as trans also seem to have a laundry list of mental illnesses.

Why are you here? What do you plan to do?
I plan to eat at mcdonalds while telling myself it's the last time. Then go home and feel pathetic and maybe read books. Or maybe go to a train station and drink coffee near the normies enjoying their lives, while feeling pathetic.
Hopefully I can come to terms with my subhumanity but it is unlikely

Just finished reading this novella. Conflicted on whether Mr Hyde is a real person or not. I'm not too sure if Dr Jekyll actually goes through the transformation or if it's just a change in his mannerisms and attitude. What do you guys think?

Doesn't Stevenson describe Hyde's posture, stature and appearence?
I seem to remember that it was different than Jekyll.
>>
>>9760157
if i remember correctly its explicitly stated that he transforms into another person. mr hyde is a lot smaller and ugly enough to not be recognized by any friends/staff of jekyll
>>
Hyde is real, his body transforms. Speaking of the novel, I enjoyed it immensely, and I liked the Signet Classics edition introduction. Did anyone else read it?
