I'm making a trip to the library soon. I just want to make sure I have a good list.

I can probably rec some communist books, what are you looking for? Like introduction/first pass stuff on Marx?

>>9557961
You can skip Coelho, Palahniuk, and all that low-brow stuff. Consider adding:

>higher-brow contemporary, like J. M. Coetzee or Donna Tartt at least (even Salman Rushdie would be an improvement)
>more old classics, especially from Antiquity (why not some Petronius? or Plutarch if you want solid information?)
>Karl Marx's Capital is essential, even for non-communists

Do you actually have the Philo background for the Stirner, or is it just because it's a /lit/ meme?

It's helpful to understand what his thougt is actually in context of and responding to instead of just memeing because autists here like to misunderstand "spooks"

>>9557961


Still not sure what you looking for as far as commmunist books go but here's some recs;

For getting Marx, first 'Wage Labour and Capital' and 'Value, Price, and Profit' are good starting points.
Then the 'Contribution to the Critique of political economy', especially the preface. Now before tackling Capital, it's worthwhile to check out stuff like The German Ideology (pt. 1) and Engles' Socialism: Utopian and Scientific, Principles of Communism, Origin of the Family.

Now read Capital. Also get the Companion volume by David Harvey/ watch the lectures on YouTube. 'Understanding Capital' by Foley is also good, and 'Introduction to the Three Volumes of Capital' by Heinrich is very good despite its shortness.

Then read Lenin, and Stalin.
By Stalin, Foundations of Leninism, and Dialectical and Historical Materialism are both unnervingly readable.

By Lenin,
What is to be Done?
Imperialism: The Highest Stage of Capitalism
State and Revolution
are the most essential works, though he has many many short essays which are also very good, but probably more of interest to organizing communists rather than somebody just wanting to learn a bit more.

Other works that I consider as being real advances to Marxist theory or otherwise important to the left would include;
On Practice & On Contradiction by Mao
Reform or Revolution by Luxemburg
Prison Notebooks by Gramsci
Terrorism and Communism by Trotsky
The National Question by Stalin

Dialectics of Enlightenment by Horkheimer and Adorno
For Marx, Reading Capital, and Lenin and Philosophy by Althusser
The Production of Space by Levfvre
The Limits of Capital by David Harvey
Postmodernism; or the Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism by Jameson
Empire by Hardt and Negri

Marxism and the Oppression of Women by Vogel
Caliban and the Witch by Federici
The Power of Ideology and the Ideology of Power by Therborn
Monopoly Capital by Baran and Sweezy
Women, Race, and Class by Davis
Lavender and Red by Feinberg
Late Capitalism by Mandel
Neocolonialism: the highest stage of imperialism

Blackshirts and Red by Parenti

Stirner isnt that complicated, theres a reason he has been left behind by all rational thinkers

>>9557961

Also yeah, I think Stirner is a major meme.

I'd generally base how significant a thinker is based on how many books the local university library has on them, and Stirner has got two in the philosophy section and zero elsewhere. Bruno Bauer and Feuerbach both have volumes more. Also there is an anarchism section in the library and while they have Ego and it's Own, it's not like they have any secondary lit on it.

If you want to really get into anarchism read the bread book, read Emma Goldman, and read Bookchin. Or better yet, don't bother and just read Lenin

>>9559440
i've never read stirner but ideally what would be the problem with embracing egoism seeing as your ego exists until death?
