Enjoy your cultural enrichment

>no bordiga

liberal detected

nice bubble argument
you don't know what we believe in, we are not liberals...

I don't care about africans feels just class warfare so we can change the material conditions and bring about a new phase of human development. Like a new enlightenment

>the Jacobite, radicals that the socialists descend from

Is there any truth to this theory or essays/literature that elaborate on it.

Because as someone who lives in the central belt of Scotland, I can usually tell a man's politics based on their surname. (Be they descended from Jacobites or Hanoverians)

I didn't make this but I do love me some bordiga

Didn't some fags from /leftypol/ say they were going to start posting here and on Veeky Forums to try and start a communist overthrow of Veeky Forums?

Please keep this literature related instead of retarded 'le internet war' shit

Here's an interesting article that provides a history of CIA involvement in literature circles during the Cold War.
newrepublic.com/article/138946/literary-agents
Also, these books: Finks: How the CIA Tricked the World’s Best Writers, The Mighty Wurlitzer: How the CIA Played America

>"The Paris Review, however, was not part of the CCF. Unlike the CCF magazines, which were generally both political and literary, The Paris Review remained theoretically “apolitical.” But Whitney shows that the CIA’s cultural Cold War helped to shape its content just the same. One of The Paris Review’s editors, Nelson Aldrich Jr., discovered that a government agency had purchased 460 copies of one issue and taken out ten subscriptions. “As far as possible, this information should remain secret,” he cautioned his colleagues. The CCF effectively subsidized many little magazines simply by being a large and regular purchaser."

>"Through such relationships, the CIA wielded undue influence on the literary landscape. Whitney makes a compelling case, for instance, that the CIA reinforced the literary prestige of white men in American letters. If other nations believed that race relations in America were poor, the agency feared, it would damage our ability to lead the “free” world. So the CIA sponsored African American voices only if their critique of U.S. society wasn’t too sweeping. And even writers it did support, like Richard Wright, found that the CIA was spying on them at the same time. “I lift my hand to fight communism,” Wright wrote, “and I find that the hand of the Western world is sticking knives into my back.” Ex-Communist Ralph Ellison, author of Invisible Man, attended some CCF events; he was the only black writer featured in The Paris Review’s “Art of Fiction” series until the 1980s."

Have you not noticed the increase of communist and anarchist shit being posted here today?

Do yo remember the massive group of Christian Anarchists after some people got around to reading Anna Karenina? Do you also remember in 2014 when a neo-Nazi forum began to make coordinated efforts to raid Veeky Forums?

Also, there are at least two threads on Atlas Shrugged.

>so new doesn't remember when Veeky Forums used to be filled with commies, anarchists, and chrisfags
sasuga /pol/

...

waaaaaaah waaaaaaaaaah

Shut up, retard.

Anyone who browses Veeky Forums knows that the board goes through stages.

We've always been communist here because we genuinely frown on capitalist activity and shitpost and sometimes raid anyone who tries to do it on here. You all really have a way of saying one thing and doing another.

Nice movies m8. Now time to read a book.

Here's a lazy copy-paste of some socialist literature I recommended if anyone is interested.

The Communist Manifesto if you need a short and sweet version of the inherent inequalities of capitalism and the overall objectives and goals of socialism (it's only ~50 pages so you might as well).

Das Kapital if you're hardcore like that and really want to go in depth with Marxism (very long).

The Jungle by Upton Sinclair if you can stomach it, and you're up for a critique of laissez-faire capitalism that will make you want to vomit.

Animal Farm by George Orwell if you want a critique of State-Capitalism (Stalinism), socialism's own boogieman. A decent allegory of the events leading up to Stalin's Soviet Union.

1984 by George Orwell is a good book on cult of personality and totalitarianism, if you're into that sort of thing.

And now, for a few honorable mentions:

The State and Revolution (Vladimir Lenin)
The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State (Engels)
Socialism: Utopian and Scientific (Engels)
The German Ideology (Marx)
The Condition of the Working Class in England (Engels)
Homage to Catalonia (Orwell)
What Is to Be Done? (Lenin)
Grundrisse: Foundations of the Critique of Political Economy (Marx)

These are just a few of the books you should read if you want to have a better conception of Marxism.

Really, you can't go wrong with anything by Marx, Lenin, Engels, Orwell, or even Hegel for that matter. Just keep in mind that this list is non-exhaustive, and that there is much more on socialism and Marxism than what I just posted.

Are there any history books on the USSR from a Russian perspective? Every author I read always finds the need to insert their liberal opinion in.

I live in America and there is a lot of blacks here, and I'm living pretty well.

>implying there's any /pol/ on this board other than that one shitposter who does it for reasons unknown
also why did i bump this shit thread

Stupid plea to authority.
>the Marxian-Sraffian tradition
That makes no sense, Sraffa was a neo-ricardian and saw no fundamental internal contradictions to capitalist development

>people with taste didn't recommend irrelevant minority whiners because of a secret government conspiracy to read the Paris Review
