I am learning the business side of western philosophy for a college class and I can already tell I hate Immanuel Kant, John Stuart Mill, and basically every Greek philosopher.

Edit: To clarify things, I do not hate all of Western philosophy like Karl Marx just the more mainstream parts which are being taught in American academia.

This is a vent post and I was using hyperbole and being dramatic. I am sorry for the confusion.

    I recommend you to read it. Not because it’s as important as other Lenin’s works[1] (you can safely skip it) or very informative (other Marxists like Mao have already done the job to take important insights), but because it’s hilarious that sometimes Lenin goes like “wtf is this” at some paragraph written by Hegel.

    hence the “lol” since Lenin’s confusion is way more informative than modern academics.

    Here’s an example:

    Two important things: (1) Die Objektivität # des Scheins[39]

    Note: "NB: unclear, return to it!!

    1. to be clear: it’s not useless. You can learn how Lenin learned. It’s just not very practical ↩︎
