Your first mistake was thinking people on /pol/ have ever read a book of political theory.
...
I'm pretty sure now that I've been reading a ton of ironic meaning into them that just isn't there
I'm so ashamed

God, if I read all of these I'd be a fucking powerhouse. I know I could do it, but I'm just too lazy.
forgot my image
Everything on that list from Hegel and onward is trash.

Should I follow this guide?
Or this guide? I'm leaning more towards the second one.

Bitch please. His first mistake was thinking that people on /pol/ are smart.
This.

...wasted my vote on a meme

I know he clarified his views in his later works, but why exclude what is universally considered the most important political text of the 20th century?
That's sort of what I was getting it, but, yes I agree.
You have to understand that less than 1% of people out there have read enough political theory to form a proper opinion of their own. Most people are reactionary, single/few-issue voters and actual political debate among regular folks is entirely futile and only results in anger.
user, I've read tons of political theory books: Anthem, See I Told you by Rush Limbaugh.
/pol/'s general IQ declined about two standard deviations since mid 2015. Had you stopped by back then, you might've had some relevant discussion.
But you chose now.

It's alright user. Don't feel bad. You made the right choice, even if it was a shitty choice. All choices were shit, and you chose the least shit.
Political liberalism is literally an expanded version of theory of justice
I made the guide in OP, I just basically copied an into polisci syllabus and filled in a couple gaps. I'll probably update it soon, Hegel onwards needs some cleaning up. I'd also probably narrow Marx down to a couple essays.
