I'm looking for pro-fascist or fascist-neutral books. Any recommendations of books or authors that are informative about the subject?

Evola seems great. Are there any good books specifically? I'm looking for books that sort of lay out what fascism is in its respective country.

How do you think Trump has or has not lived up to Machiavelli's model for a successful leader?

You do realize Machiavelli wasn't being serious when he wrote The Prince, OP?

I want to write a 500-1000 word story.
Give me a prompt. Be as challenging as you want. Preferences would be sci-fi, fantasy, humor, or horror, but I'm open to anything.

>thinks Plato, Hume and Kant had reasonable theories about substance

I read "Hume" as "Harambe" lol
>>
It is unreasonable, as it depends upon a communication of divine attributes to Christ's human nature to the degree that he is rendered non-human. If a "human body" is non-finite and essentially omnipresent, then it isn't a body and it isn't human. There are better ways of understanding the Eucharist.

Thoughts on his work? Does he have any "bad" books? I was thinking of reading his work chronologically, is that a good idea? It not always is.

Everything I've read has been solid so far
I'd say if you want an intro on his works starts with something simple and small like no country for old men or the road, then move on to things like suttree, blood meridian (his best by far), the borders trilogy, etc
>>
Who else can't wait for The Passenger? If it lives up to hype it's gonna be up there with his best.
Also you guys should all read the 1985 (?) New York Times interview with him, so many biographical details that are just so fucking based. Guy decided his life's job was to never work and my god he might be one of the only few to ever succeed.
