Starting a reading group if you're interested, it's based on texts related to political theor. They must meet three criteria
1. Be non-liberal, pre liberal, or critical of liberalism, they can be leftist or rightist or anything else though 2. Be fifty pages or less 3. Be interesting and enjoyable to read
The first reading is Foucault's chapter on panopticon, taken from Discipline and Punish. We will discuss each text on a weekly basis. Post texts you would like for us to read, if you please
I set up a discord and will upload the readings there discord.gg/AWRetpz
I read almost excursively political theory and, while this is tempting, i think discord is for faggots. Your first stipulation makes me think that the entire thing will dissolve into political proselytisation by whatever political ideology manages to take it over. Also, less than fifty pages precludes the vast amount of texts, and reading segments out of context of the whole text can often lead to misunderstanding. Especially in those books which rely on a sustain argument eg, Leviathan, Capital, The Republic, The Philosophy of Right, ect.
Be realistic, outside Summer you aren't going to keep a Yea Forums reading group together for multiple texts if they're that long

Are any alt lit poetesses sponsoring your group? I'm asking because if there's a spot open, I have a few names that might surprise you and theyve very reasonable rates
Jaxson Williams
No women allowed
Lucas Taylor
I still don't think it is a proper way to study key thinkers. Why don't you want any liberal texts?
>50 pages or less I'm a fan of organizing book clubs for people who aren't retards, but you're going to have to broaden to entire works. If you want to have good conversations about politics you're going to have to read a lot of books that are over 400 pages each so there's no way you'll get anything substantial out of 50 page excerpts unless everyone has already read the whole. Good luck, though, user.
Jace Wood
It probably won't but even if it does what is the point?
Andrew Hill
This seemed like a good until I read no liberalism.
Luke Torres
Not even the Prince is 50 pages and it's considered a very short work
Easton Sanders
Don't know, but interesting topic
No way even one such work will hold s group. Maybe after we established an extensive, consistent base we could consider longer works
That's correct, we could read an excerpt though.
William Martinez
You pseuds will get to page 10 of Leviathan and then go back to your brainlet fiction because you can't handle the redpills.
Christian Gutierrez
lmao at this nerd thinking you need brainpower for the leviathan.
Jaxson Cook
Leviathan is pretty lucid and straightforward, I enjoy it, also Schmitt who references it as his base
Joseph Richardson

Thomas Powell
>he thinks he has some secret knowledge because he read one of the most popular works of philosophy in existence
