Every fucking time. Are normies so brain dead that they can't have feasibly reasonable political beliefs without having to read a book telling them what to believe?

Reading books to form your political beliefs isn't a bad thing. The bad thing is that this stupid fuck can't actually make an argument in favor of the shit he believes in and demands you go and read a whole fucking book instead.
Typically the thinking in most academic subjects is if you can't explain a topic in a concise way you probably don't fucking understand it.
Basically you were arguing with a brainlet
>tells me to read it again
This guy in particular might just have autism, since he seems like he isn't able to understand that people can form different opinions under the same stimulae

Those are pretty obnoxious. Coworker literally reads 2 propaganda books every day. Doesn't see what's wrong with reading Clinton's books but think it's reprehensible to read some conservative's book or vice versa (but she falls into the former version)

I didn't read it correctly because I didn't come out of the experience believing exactly what they consider to be a correct belief.

You should probably do this OP if you're arguing with communists. You might not be an anarchist but his feelings on the global system of exploitation and it's purveyors will probably resonate with you.
>This whole Jewish world, comprising a single exploiting sect, a kind of blood sucking people, a kind of organic destructive collective parasite, going beyond not only the frontiers of states, but of political opinion, this world is now, at least for the most part, at the disposal of Marx on the one hand, and of Rothschild on the other... This may seem strange. What can there be in common between socialism and a leading bank? The point is that authoritarian socialism, Marxist communism, demands a strong centralisation of the state. And where there is centralisation of the state, there must necessarily be a central bank, and where such a bank exists, the parasitic Jewish nation, speculating with the Labour of the people, will be found.
