Read the communist manifesto first and then go with Das Capital

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital:_Critique_of_Political_Economy

It depends what you already know really, how well you know the history of mankind, how well you understand economics, what else would you like to learn etc.
tell me more about what you are interested in and why, and what have you read so far

>Obviously, I couldn't come up with anything to say, but I returned to my hotel deep in thought. It's a fact, I mused to myself, that in societies like ours sex truly represents a second system of differentiation, completely independent of money; and as a system of differentiation it functions just as mercilessly. The effects of these two systems are, furthermore, strictly equivalent. Just like unrestrained economic liberalism, and for similar reasons, sexual liberalism produces phenomena of absolute pauperization. Some men make love every day; others five or six times in their life, or never. Some make love with dozens ofwomen; others with none. It's what's known as `the law of the market'. In an economic system where unfair dismissal is prohibited, every person more or less manages to find their place. In a sexual system where adultery is prohibited, every person more or less manages to find their bed mate. In a totally liberal sexual system certain people have a varied and exciting erotic life; others are reduced to masturbation and solitude. Economic liberalism is an extension of the domain of the struggle, its extension to all ages and all classes of society. Sexual liberalism is likewise an extension of the domain of the struggle, its extension to all ages and all classes of society. On the economic plane Raphael Tisserand belongs in the victors' camp; on the sexual plane in that of the vanquished. Certain people win on both levels; others lose on both. Businesses fight over certain young professionals; women fight over certain young men; men fight over certain young women; the trouble and strife are considerable.

>No greater mistake could be made than to think the PUAs are modern Casanovas. Casanova was an adventurer and a man of a hundred talents, HENCE his great success with women. PUAs are just a bunch of losers who spent half their lives unable to get laid, and the other half desperately trying to make up for it. Lack of talents and any kind of adventurousness beyond skirt-chasing are REQUIREMENTS to be a PUA. Casanova, meanwhile, while certainly no philosopher, was a true representative of culture. He even rubbed Voltaire's nose in it at one point. PUAs, on the other hand, are strictly anti-culture. Roosh for example goes to London — one of the greatest cities in the world — and reports back that "there is nothing there". Krauser thinks that Austrian economics are culture. GLL thinks higher education is a scam. Half the others can't think of anything else beyond clubs and steroids. They are against marriage, education, work, art, sports... (and of course against philosophy), in short against anything besides getting laid, against any other dimension of life.
That PUAs try to put themselves forward as representatives and defenders of masculinity is an absurd presumption that one should show no sympathy with. There is not the slightest doubt that LACK of masculinity is precisely the reason the PUAs became PUAs in the first place. If you are masculine you have to fight women off, any masculine man knows this. And what they also know, that still escapes PUAs, is that masculinity is not something that can be taught but something you must be born with (it's called genetics), and that the only people who could be fooled that it can be are, indeed, women.

>Americans rename Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone to "Sorcerer's Stone"

Does this mean philosophy class in America is sorcery class?

No it means that American children are less likely to catch the reference to alchemy.

sorcerer is a cool word for chads and philosopher is a boring word for big gay nerds

>>7709166
Sorcerers and philosophers are both pretty gay, warlock, on the other hand, sounds similar to warlord, and doesn't strike the image of faggy fat men in pointy hats as much as wizard does.

yeah im old so i remember when AOL dumped their userbase on the legit internet (providers often had their own segregated "networks" back in the day, where the usually distinguished "the internet" something seperate to their userbase.

even though i think everyone should embrace the internet, the signal to noise ratio is getting bad. however this time around I think the web is going to die off in a few decades, and things are going to be federated logins on apps. it's sad but I really think we're going that direction.

Why is Judas portrayed as a villian? I mean, duh, he betrayed Jesus, but why is he considered a bad guy when thanks to him Jesus got the death he "wanted", the one that saved us all from sin, etc.

I think that actually opens another question. If God sent His son to die for our sins, was he supposed to die via torture and humilliation or just die as any human being? If the latter, I can understand Judas being a bad guy, but if the former, then he was just a way to get there.

Most of his short stories are quite fun if you don't look into them too much.
