I'm a burger who's just moved to the UK and I'm having trouble acclimatizing politically.
Can you recommend me books that help to understand the need for socialism?
Keep comments Veeky Forums related, thanks.

Oh, and inb4 the Manifesto and all that shit. I mean stuff more like pic related, written by human beings.

there is no reason why we should care for other people outside ourself, our family and our tribe. it's unnatural.

In Place of Fear by Aneurivan Bevan

Humans are tribal. You're civilised. lmao

Nope, not an amerimutt, far from it. Face it, you're civilised, and care about others than your tribe.

Typical civilised man.

What do I know of cultured ways, the gilt, the craft and the lie?
I, who was born in a naked land and bred in the open sky.
The subtle tongue, the sophist guile, they fail when the broadswords sing;
Rush in and die, dogs—I was a man before I was a king.

Read homage to Catalonia and Down & Out as a starting point. Maybe look at Einstein's article on socialism.

Then make your way through the pic attached. I'd recommend starting with "the conquest of bread".

>inb4 'this isn't written by human beings', whatever that means.

This.

The weak will always use democracy to implement a socialist system. They hate the people who can take care of themselves and their family.

You're unnatural. When the fall of our civilisation comes due to your decadence, techno barbarians will rule the earth and you will either die under the mud or be a slave.

Autism

the reason that there are white socialists is because they want access to resources that are unfairly occupied by parasite white elites and Jews too. you can try reframing it as theft but YOU stole the land, YOU squat on resources, YOU deny people the means to be happy. Your greed breeds ressentiment and your greed will always fracture the natural order.

Not an argument, leftist scum. Your unnatural body will die from the force of pure barbarism that occours in all natural, uncorrupted bodies.

Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split, as a general thing

kys race autists

...

If the white elites and Jews own the resources then they are the natural alphas in society.

Barbarism is the natural state of mankind," the borderer said, still staring somberly at the Cimmerian. "Civilization is unnatural. It is a whim of circumstance. And barbarism must always ultimately triumph

He was concerned only with the naked fundamentals of life. The warm intimacies of small, kindly things, the sentiments and delicious trivialities that make up so much of civilized men's lives were meaningless to him. A wolf was no less a wolf because a whim of chance caused him to run with the watch-dogs. Bloodshed and violence and savagery were the natural elements of the life Conan knew; he could not, and would never, understand the little things that are so dear to civilized men and women.

Is this the power of autism?

How did this UK need for socialism manifest itself to you?

How about you make a Veeky Forums related thread first instead of bait

Unto This Last by John Ruskin
News From Nowhere by William Morris
The Condition of the Working Class in England by Friedrich Engels
The Lion and the Unicorn by George Orwell

Read about the English Civil War and then read about the revolutions of 1830 and 1848 to understand the origins of socialism from a European perspective

Thanks comrades.

The UK turn towards socialism was mostly due to the combined impact of the World Wars. They had such a big effect on the country, its place in the world and that generation, that the electorate - having made such sacrifices - felt it was owed something by the State in return. Thus the NHS and so on. You can see this if you look at the dates of historical growth of the Labour party, and government spending.

You want to read literature concerning what is called the "Post War Consensus" for how all parties were pulled to the left post war. In my own opinion, this effect is now reversing. But anyway.

christian values prove you wrong, then again you actually sound like an atheist edgelord

>this effect is now reversing.
Now? That bitch was 30 years ago

“There is a sense in which it would be true to say that one was experiencing a foretaste of Socialism, by which I mean that the prevailing mental atmosphere was that of Socialism. Many of the normal motives of civilized life--snobbishness, money-grubbing, fear of the boss, etc.--had simply ceased to exist. The ordinary class-division of society had disappeared to an extent that is almost unthinkable in the money-tainted air of England; there was no one there except the peasants and ourselves, and no one owned anyone else as his master. Of course such a state of affairs could not last. It was simply a temporary and local phase in an enormous game that is being played over the whole surface of the earth. But it lasted long enough to have its effect upon anyone who experienced it. However much one cursed at the time, one realized afterwards that one had been in contact with something strange and valuable. One had been in a community where hope was more normal than apathy or cynicism, where the word 'comrade' stood for comradeship and not, as in most countries, for humbug. One had breathed the air of equality. I am well aware that it is now the fashion to deny that Socialism has anything to do with equality. In every country in the world a huge tribe of party-hacks and sleek little professors are busy 'proving' that Socialism means no more than a planned state-capitalism with the grab-motive left intact. But fortunately there also exists a vision of Socialism quite different from this. The thing that attracts ordinary men to Socialism and makes them willing to risk their skins for it, the 'mystique' of Socialism, is the idea of equality; to the vast majority of people Socialism means a classless society, or it means nothing at all.

And it was here that those few months in the militia were valuable to me. For the Spanish militias, while they lasted, were a sort of microcosm of a classless society. In that community where no one was on the make, where there was a shortage of everything but no privilege and no boot-licking, one got, perhaps, a crude forecast of what the opening stages of Socialism might be like. And, after all, instead of disillusioning me it deeply attracted me. The effect was to make my desire to see Socialism established much more actual than it had been before. Partly, perhaps, this was due to the good luck of being among Spaniards, who, with their innate decency and their ever-present Anarchist tinge, would make even the opening stages of Socialism tolerable if they had the chance.” - George Orwell

>need for socialism
There isn't one.
And most of the UK is voting for the Tories anyway.

>That bitch was 30 years ago

I didn't mean it's started to reverse right now, I meant it's currently reversing and yes it started in '79 with Thatcher. 1979 was a kind of pivot year, the only kind of Labour we've had since then has been the Blair/Brown variant which dropped many of the socialist aspects from Old Labour.

Some of the post-war consensus still holds, such as the sanctity of the NHS, and there is the recent (relative) popularity of Corbyn, however I think the long term trend is away from the post war consensus and I don't think Corbyn will be able to win a majority.

Down and Out in Paris and London is really good too.

Erm

Visit your local mosque and ask the imam what he thinks of socialism
