Is communism a meme or not? I have been feeling lately that capitalism a shit, but at the same time I feel like living in communism might be the best thing, but at the same time it sounds like it would not lead to a happy life for a lot of people.
What book should I read? thx

Capitalism is shit but don;t delude yoursel into falling for the dualism meme
that's what communists want, to create the illusion that there is no alternative but communism/socialism
it is complete rubbish
ignore Marx, read Hegel instead then Kierkegaard and Nietzsche
>over a hundred million people killed directly by communism
>it "sounds like" it would not lead to a happy life for a lot of people.

thanks
are you sure that those deaths would of occured if communism was carried out the right way?
So you're trying to avoid the modern false dilemma and you want him to read the philosopher that both the far right and far left are directly descended from (Hegel)?
If you want to avoid modern errors then maybe check out what people other than the moderns had to say.
Marxism was already dead by the time Marx was writing Das Kapital.
This, while Marx's Capital can still be useful to understand capitalism and the contradictions that arise from capitalism, however, you should ignore works such as the communist manifesto. Marx only postulated that communism was the next step, yet never formulated what it would be like or how to achieve it. Capitalism probably won't last forever, what comes afterwards depends on the course we take.
he can but he needs to start somewhere, who better than Hegel?
if you want to meme hard he can start with the Greeks
>If communism was carried out the right way
Communism can't exist the way communists want to because communists are the reason it always fails when they can't accept other people think it's retarded.
It'll last forever, it's the only thing close to humans greed and selfishness.
