The Republic, Crito and Meno, because according to /Lit/ autists they are the first step to acquiring a basic understanding of philosophy but in fact they really aren't important unless you're a classicist or specialise in ancient philosophy.

not even remotely true.

You clearly don't frequent Reddit, and I applaud you for it. Regardless, it's still a meme.

>>8520766
Whats wrong with communist manifesto?

>>8520947
Can't tell if shit posting or not. It's definitely worth the read, but Marxism has simply failed everytime and everywhere it has been attempted.

>>8520766
How about doing something valuable with your time?

>>8520967
Well, you can't expect to understand Marxism by just reading the manifesto.
And by the way, the soviet union failed structuraly?

>>8520967

It's pretty obvious that no political philosophy is a perfect fit for the real world, and every one would fail were it fully implemented, it doesn't mean that they are of no worth and do not merit reading.

This is the memest post ITT, well done.

OP here. I'm already going to be doing something that's both unenjoyable and unavoidable, so I might as well have a little fun with it.

>>8521003
I never said it was of no worth, I just made the observation that Marxism is a meme and has yet to be successfully translated into reality.

>>8521002
I would consider economy apart of structure, so yes.

I do, actually. And my statement still stands.

I just hope you know how insufferable you sound

>>8521098
I want you to explain how saying a relatively unsuccessful idea that is constantly praised by SJWs makes me insufferable. Please, enlighten me.

>>8521120
Because you're the type of illiterate idiot that takes the term SJW seriously

My deepest apologies. How should I refer to the free speech infringing individuals of the left variety? Maybe the regressive left?

Marx foresaw Communism coming around organically, not something to be implemented from above or forced on a backwards society.

>>8521069
You're right, but it's the reputation that matters, not reality.

Reddit thinks Reddit likes Rand, for example.

>>8520967
Every Communism thought Bolshevism could never be successful long-term. However, Bolshevism won. So everyone else copied them because they seemed like the only guys who could win against "the bourgeois pigs", and also because they poured a tonne of money into other Bolshevik groups. this resulted in the vast majority of Communist states being Bolshevik. These then failed, like most communists thought it would.

I'm not a commie by the way. But you don't need to be a commie to know that this isn't why communism is bad, just like you don't need to be a Christian to know ratheists are shitters.

Are you, by any chance an American? Because only an American would make such a stupid post.

>>8522067
It is a meme, in many ways.

Capital isn't, because it's long and thick and intellectually demanding, so uni hipsters don't read it. But the Commie Manifesto isn't.

Side note: I once talked to a guy who was writing a big thesis or something on Communism. His source material was More's Utopia and the Manifesto. It was going as well as you'd expect.

>>8521161
"Westerners".

>>8522076
Because Capital explains how scientific socialism works, Manifesto just explains why socialism should be our common concern. The latter seems to be much better for people who don't know anyhting about communism. Still it doesn't make it a meme or pretentious. Also Capital is completely technical and as a commie I don't suggest anyone to read it unless you have a degree in economics.

>>8522091
Have you even read Capital comrade? Its detailed sure but outside the first chapter its very intuitive hardly need a bloody specific degree to read it.

The problem with the Manifesto is that it was written by Marx as a young man and lacks the theoretical rigour and nuance of his mature writings.

>>8522091
The use of the Manifesto, and its cultural trappings, are what makes it a meme. You have to let go of this defensive butthurt.

>>8522116
Of course you can read Capital without any degree, but you'll miss the major points of what Marx has tried to say. Without a grasp of economy and 19th century history, you can't understand Capital accordingly.
>lacks the theoretical rigour and nuance of his mature writings
Bullshit. Manifesto is the pinnacle of marxist doctrine and essential of communism.

>>8522091
>Because Capital explains how scientific socialism works

Capital is about capitalism though. I'm not sure Marx has ever written a page explaining how "socialism" works.

>>8522166
yea if it was about socialism it would be named social amirite?

>>8522058
>ratheists
what is that?

>>8522187
Atheists similar or the same as those from /r/atheism.

Fedoratheists, they're also called.
