What books can I read to cement my politics? I'm a dirty

Animal Farm is a good satire on the shortcomings of humans in a socialist society.

I read it in highschool but I don't remember if I understood it. Is it a fair look? Also I thought it was about communism? I'm more interested in libertarianism and fascism

Mein Kampf

>>9708929

You should read it again.

>>9708933
Orwell was a Socialist.

>>9708929
Das Kapital

>>9708933
*state socialism + (one) party politics

>>9709046
Mises is somewhat outdated, but has some interesting arguments either way. If you read him, read Hayek, Mises and then Milton Friedman to get the gist of the legacy

>>9709106
yea sure, let a noob run through Marx's 1000+ page volume of political economy critique

Nope.

The Communist Manifesto is a beginners start of Marxist/Communist thought however

>>9709057
This pic has a lot to read through. I can't speak to quality of the list, but it definitely has some good reads. If you only read through this info graph, could take you 2 years

>>9709123
I meant to say: Mises, (THEN) Hayek, then Friedman.

By the time Friedman became relevant, the Keynesian economics and big government had already infultrated his otherwise Austrian econ upbringing from Hayek (who was the 'opposite' of Keynes)

At this rate, it's like i'm the only one here.

PLEASE, PLEASE do not read Atlas Shrugged. It's too long, and if you grab one of her other books with essays, you'll get a better gist of what she's saying. Only commit to reading Atlas Shrugged after that

>>9709063
yes, and?

You're much better off asking /pol/. There are unironic socialists/leftists/ on /lit/, and you've already shown you're redpilled.

Why do socialists always shit on socialism?

>>9709156
Socialism in its philosophy, politics, economics and social are different across writers, politicians, historical, cultural and national context

Thus, a socialist that wants the state to administer directives and change the country will not intermingle with a socialist that wants the state abolished.

Also, everyone is too edgy for everyone else. in-fighting among sects is a thing

The Capitalist Manifesto, The New Capitalists

What are some right wing books? I don't want to just read left stuff, I want the main literature of all sides.

>>9709310
See: >>9709057


>>9709140
A lot of those are within the vicinity of 200-300 pages. Some of the more analytical books are much longer, but it looks like way more than it really is.
