Whoever of you fags got me into reading Dostoevsky deserves a fucking medal. I just finished Notes from Underground and started Brothers Karamazov and it's superb.
His comments on Christianity, socialism, political philosophy and existentialism seem all so very insightful to me. It's like he is some sort of soulmate. I read Camus' The Stranger in between and he's a brainlet in comparison to Dosto.
Anywho sorry for blogposting but I had to get this off my chest. Let's unravel the state and turn it into the Church.

read hegel's philosophy of right.
In a somewhat similar vein I had a lot of fun reading Anna Karenina and seeing why Lenin feltnit was so important to his brand of communism

Isn't Hegel the opposite though? Like turning everything into the state? Sorry, but I'm not well-read when it comes to Hegel.

>I know that in the whole world there is certainly no other people who would be complaining as much about their lot, incessantly, after each step and word of theirs -- about their humiliation, their suffering, their martyrdom. One might think it is not they who are reigning in Europe, who are directing there at least the stock exchanges and, therefore, politics, domestic affairs, the morality of the states.

Tolstoy declined an opportunity to met with Dostoevsky once IIRC so no. I think it was because Tolstoy had vastly different religious/philosophical ideas.
