Why yes my favourite part of Lolita is when Humberts wife finds his writings and then gets ran over whats yours?

also, Nabokov general

1. Nothing exists;
2. Even if something exists, nothing can be known about it; and
3. Even if something can be known about it, knowledge about it can't be communicated to others.
4. Even if it can be communicated, it cannot be understood.

Metaphors are for cowards who are too afraid to say what they mean.

>Look at modern day India. The absolute chaos and, quite frankly, the filth of the place. Look at the endless superstition and idolatry of its people. A religious system pre-dating Christianity by millenia, and yet still they live like chaotic fools.
>No logos = no order. Hinduism contains nothing of any worth for a Westerner.

>Yes I only read epics like the Iliad and other mythological stories

>To be truly happy in this world a man ought not merely fling himself into every vice, but should never permit himself one virtue. It is not simply a matter of always doing evil, but also and above all, of never doing good.

Consciousness is one and unchanging; it is only when the objects get associated with it that they appear in consciousness and as identical with it in such a way that the flashing of an object in consciousness appears as the flashing of the consciousness itself. It is through an illusion that the object of consciousness and consciousness appear to be welded together into such an integrated whole, that their mutual difference escapes our notice, and that the object of consciousness, which is only like an extraneous colour applied to consciousness, does not appear different or extraneous to it, but as a specific mode of the consciousness itself. Thus what appear as but different awarenesses, as book-cognition, table-cognition, are not in reality different awarenesses, but one unchangeable consciousness successively associated with ever-changing objects which falsely appear to be integrated with it and give rise to the appearance that qualitatively different kinds of consciousness are flashing forth from moment to moment. Consciousness cannot be regarded as momentary.

For, had it been so, it would have appeared different at every different moment. If it is urged that, though different consciousnesses are arising at each different moment, yet on account of extreme similarity this is not noticed; then it may be replied that, if there is difference between the two consciousnesses of two successive moments, then such difference must be grasped either by a different consciousness or by the same consciousness. In the first alternative the third awareness, which grasps the first two awarenesses and their difference, must either be identical with them, and in that case the difference between the three awarenesses would vanish; or it may be different from them, and in that case, if another awareness be required to comprehend their difference and that requires another and so on, there would be a vicious infinite.

The mama pajama rolled out of bed
And she ran to the police station
When the papa found out he began to shout
And he started the investigation
It's against the law
It was against the law
What the mama saw
It was against the law
The mama looked down and spit on the ground
Every time my name gets mentioned
The papa said, "oy, if I get that boy
I'm gonna stick him in the house of detention"
Well I'm on my way
I don't know where I'm going
I'm on my way
I'm taking my time
But I don't know where
Goodbye to Rosie, the queen of Corona
Seein' me and Julio
Down by the schoolyard
Seein' me and Julio
Down by the schoolyard
Whoa, in a couple days they come and take me away
But the press let the story leak
And when the radical priest
Come to get me released
We was all on the cover of Newsweek
And I'm on my way
I don't know where I'm going
I'm on my way
I'm taking my time
But I don't know where
Goodbye to Rosie, the queen of Corona
Seein' me and Julio
Down by the schoolyard
Seein' me and Julio
Down by the schoolyard
Seein' me and Julio
Down by the schoolyard

Ooo eee, Ooo ah ah, ting tang
Walla walla, bing bang
Ooo eee, Ooo ah ah, ting tang
Walla walla bing bang...
Ooo eee, Ooo ah ah, ting tang
Walla walla, bing bang
Ooo eee, Ooo ah ah, ting tang
Walla walla bing bang

*ahem* su atencion por favor
Todo el día con el tetra para bancar la vida,
Musculosa vomitada con chorizo y virra,
La Baranda que despiden siempre es mandarina
Es por eso que merecen que la Gente diga

Negros de Mierda,
Parecen cucarachas que se amontonan en la basura.
Negros de Mierda,
No sirven para nada y van derecho hacia la fisura.
Negros de Mierda,
Hay que desinfectarlos pa' no mancharse con su negrura.

Si tenes alguna amigo demasiado oscuro,
Olvidas lo que es un negro se cae de maduro,
Se te meten en tu casa y no vivir seguro,
Y si la ven a tu señora le tocan el culo.

Negros de Mierda,
Habría que mandarlos a la burar a la cordillera.
Negros de Mierda,
Cada 2 por 3 se duerme la mona en una catrera.
Negros de Mierda,
Hay que esterilizarlos para que esten en franca extinción.

Honestly, Marxism is one of the hardest philosophies to understand just by reading the source material. I’d recommend you to watch some lectures by Richard Wolfe.

If you need help understanding Das Kapital, then here is a series to help you with that.

I’d also recommend reading “The Principles of Communism” by Friedrich Engels as an absolute basic.

>Centralization of Power
Most modern day marxists do not want this. The authoritarian socialism of the 20th century was popularized by Lenin, and became widespread due to the influence of the USSR.
