back to leftypol&reddit, cucks

Please I'm looking for some serious answers. Is there an infographic?

>>9389087
What do you mean by "about Capitalism?" As in, neoliberal economics + psychology + underlying philosophy to understand how Capitalism works in a positive sense, or do you want critical theory + Marxism + bleak critiques, so negative?

>>9389105
>defends capitalism and calls anyone else a cuck

enjoy your retail job bootlicking cuck

>>9389150
positive sense

i have read critical theory on capitalism, now I want to read the positives of capitalism so I can make a decision on what I really support.

Mmmm I could go for some Coca-Cola right now. How about you fellow anons?

You're browsing an anime board for literature, you will never be a success, and even so, it's a pathetic and lame one in an empty hierarchy. You will have a shiny car at 50, congratulations.

Wake up.

A serious reply, The Death of Ivan Illych is dramatically about capitalism

Friendly reminder that Adam Smith was a pre-capitalist thinker and is rotating in his grave at the sight of what capitalism has become.

that one sentence from anti-oedipus everyone blows a load over

fascism for me is existential performance art. my brand atm is mishima + kierkegaard + d'annunzio + timothy mc veigh+ james franco in spring breakers+ sam hyde. every man creates his very own reality, hence, all moral principles are actually aesthetic principles. thats the power of True Will.

I reject your reality.

no OFFNC, i just dont find it very aesthetically appealing. the modern world is a sickening 'inspirational' buzzfeed video about tolerance, just an endless Hieronymus Bosch-like gay pride parade of ever fouler degeneracy, a 'diverse' crowd of smug brooklyn ‘millennials’ scolding 'white guys' in an mtv web video production for all eternity.

im an existential nazi.

i am fully aware of the total absurdity of my own beliefs, yet this only motivates me. all ideologies are equally absurd, anyways.

i might be deceiving myself when i feel the spirit of the nordic warrior flowing through my veins, when every fiber of my being burns with hatred for ZOG. but nonetheless, im 100% sure these feelings are way more real than anything you prozac popping, weed addled, hi-estrogen untermenschen will ever experience.

Hitler was a mere prefiguration of kalki, that is to say, the real deal. in the end, hitler was human, all too human, too merciful and restrained. the end of the kali yuga is nigh, kalki will come to finish the job. he will show no mercy. he will make the world pure again.

But which is the revolutionary path? Is there one? – To withdraw from the world market, as Samir Amin advises Third World Countries to do, in a curious revival of the fascist "economic solution"? Or might it be to go in the opposite direction? To go further still, that is, in the movement of the market, of decoding and deterritorialization? For perhaps the flows are not yet deterritorialized enough, not decoded enough, from the viewpoint of a theory and practice of a highly schizophrenic character. Not to withdraw from the process, but to go further, to "accelerate the process," as Nietzsche put it: in this matter, the truth is that we haven't seen anything yet
– Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, Anti-Oedipus

Just Das Kapital, OP.

>>9389087
Honestly, try this one. It attempts to talk about capitalism from a totally new angle, uncorrupted by left or right ideology. One of the things I learned from it was that right-wingers and big corporations actually love government spending and big government. It's way cheaper for shipping companies, for example, to have the state tax everybody to pay for public roads, because if everyone just paid their "fair share," or had private companies pave things (libertarians' dream), then the shipping companies would actually pay way more than you or I do. It's been four years since I read the book, so it's a little hazy, but it changed my perceptions of the whole world economy. Also, this "Introduction" version is super short; you could read it in a day.

The first chapter is also a really good précis of the two cultures problem, if you have any interest in the history of academia....

>>9390340
Are you really happy with what you've crystallised into?

Clive Hamilton wrote a good one about modern capitalism, "Growth Fetishism" which is a good critique of left and right economics and discusses capitalism's failure to practically improve peoples lives.

>>9389156
Then read anything by kikes//libertarians.

a good starting point would be Friedman, Rothbard or Rand.

The dialectic of enlightenment

A few reccs:

Essays (all short reads)
- I pencil - Read.
- Human Rights are property rights - Rothbard
-The case for freedom - Hayek
- Myths of the great depression - Reed

Books:
- Free to Choose - Friedman
- Economics in one lesson - Hazlitt
- Liberalism - Von Mises
- Road to Serfdom - Hayek

Forget it. Capitalism is unredeemable. And no, capitalism is not muh voluntary exchange. Read David Graeber's Debt. And Kevin Carson's "The Iron Fist behind the Invisible Hand"

A short and nice introduction to anti-capitalist, pro-market anarchism is Markets Not Capitalism.

Dude, get a hobby. Start running or even better, learn to woodwork. Making aesthetic furniture is really fun. Then read a good book in the nice chair you made and chill the fuck out.

Socialism really isn't that great either. If countries like Sweden and Denmark seem so great, it's moreso because most of their materials come from other nations, including de-facto slave labor from the third world. If the Nordic countries had to actually produce everything they consume, more socialism would not be the way to go.

And this is the part where you realize happiness comes from the self satisfaction that is within ourselves and no political philosophy can create this for us but merely provide the opportunity to achieve it.

A reminder that Smith considered "Theory of Moral Sentiments" to be foundational to "The Wealth of Naitons" and that you can't understand the latter without understanding the former.
