I think it was a huge influence of Marx.

Hard to read desu but a must if you want to read Marx.Adam Smith was wrong in some regards and his style of writing is a bit weird but a very interesting book if you can get through the bullshit.

Extremely good but boring once he talks about corn, i fucking hate corn rent.

Also the currencies, very annoying.

It's assigned reading in high school and college. That's why

there is literally a great expectations "thread" next to this one but of course most people on /lit/ haven't read dickens. the average age of this board is about 13 and they would rather have a thread called "my favourite philosopher is better than yours" than actually talk about great writers

>>8129623
i read David Copperfield. it just kept going and going and going. I like dickens, but i like other authors more.

it was pretty good, the second half seemed to drag, the childhood of Pip was one of my favorite bildungsromans so far.

George Eliot is a literary genius. Middlemarch is arguably the finest English novel ever written.

Vonnebad is worthless. His opportunity cost is far too high.

Stopped reading there, "intelligence" is a spook

Here you go senpai, read this if you want to despook yourself.

>Stirner himself, however, has no truck with "higher beings." Indeed, with the aim of concerning himself purely with his own interests, he attacks all "higher beings," regarding them as a variety of what he calls "spooks," or ideas to which individuals sacrifice themselves and by which they are dominated. Among the "spooks" Stirner attacks are such notable aspects of capitalist life as private property, the division of labour, the state, religion, and society itself.

Intelligence is indeed a spook.

what kind of buzzfeed tier man made that shitty image and what kind of meme are you living where you saved it and thought ti worth sharing?

>>8129527
Yes, we have.

>>8129562
I got it from /pol/. They're really good at finding things on social media to get angry about and get others to agree with them that it's deplorable

All books are about immigration of feelings and ideas

>>8129478
Are there no books that address the cultural clashes and political ramifications of immigration? I find that hard to believe.

mason and dixon you stupid fuck

I never thought I would find this much meaning in a meme. This has made me realize that I don't need meme's to make me happy. That I am addicted to them. That I don't control the memes, they control me. And I say that I can stop anytime I want but... I can't. I don't want to. The memes give me life and purpose but, do I need memes to be happy? What is happiness if not a good doggo meme? What is internet cancer if not LeafyIsHere? Am I internet cancer? Probably, but why can't I be a meme. On all levels except physical I am a meme, but is that a good thing? Are memes a good thing or just another passing of humanity? Will aliens see our memes when they come down to our war rot planet and think, "How could people this cancerous make weapons this destructive?" Will memes be how we are remembered? With a doggo meme or two and dat boi? I've gone on a tangent and I don't know why you've read this if you did but fun fact that isn't actually fun, the average weight of a pygmy goat is 35 pounds. I'm sad that I know that off the top of my head... Damn. Got to go meme again.
