The Complete Works of Edgar Allan Poe by Edgar Allan Poe

5.0

Poe has always been an inspiration for me. I love the gothic scenes and strange mixture of misery, glee and gloom in his verses. He has most certainly always been one of my favourite poets.

One of the finest sources on Dialectical Materialism. I loved the diction and overall writing style. Often people are really misinformed, I have seen really well educated people, even some so-called Marxists reducing dialectics to only triads of thesis antithesis and synthesis. I wish only more people would read it and get informed and know how misinformation is so common and why we should at all costs avoid the fallacy of appeal to authority.
Mutual Aid: A Factor of Evolution by Peter Kropotkin

One of my favourite books of all time. I even did my thesis on it. I would highly suggest it to anyone. Though negated by modern sciences and psychology you will be amazed how much of social Darwinism still lurks in today's "common sense" as manufactured by ones in control. Usually the arguments that are quite famous and repeated often to support capitalism and fascism still unconsciously arise from long negated but not yet dead social Darwinism. This work is the only complete response and scientific negation of social Darwinism. Social Darwinism in the past has been a weapon of fascists, totalitarians (tankies), and capitalists alike to support their arguments. You will be amazed how many common arguments in favour of racism, colonization, patriarchy and the mindset of such poisonous nature are production of social Darwinism. Kropotkin was amazing! I love all of his writings.
