    If you could get George Bush, and other "neo-conservatives", and extreme authoritarian-rightwing fascist/capitalists to to read just one book, which would it be, and why?


    I'd get them to read Taoism: Way of the Mystic, by JC Cooper, as i see little scope for misuse, probably wouldnt be taken repulsively or defenssively, and could get them to see society in a much larger view, maybe even make them look inward and rethink themselves and their actions.


    what book would you get people with this general political philosophy to read?

    you might want to start small like maybe Winne the Pooh...You'd need to find something on his level..

    I'd say nineteen-eighty-four, but that's just giving them ideas.

    Compassion and human decentcy is already lost on these people

    One hell of a good read, and it really makes you think a lot about how the system works (or doesn't, as the case may be). Picked it up when I was in LA a few years ago and I still read it over again every few months. I would recommend it to everyone.

    as if that matters at all. sheesh. ;):p
    i listen to music hundreds of years old and dont even so much as bat an eyelid.
    :)


    k, i know this thread was intended for only one book, but i reckon "post scarcity anarchism" by murray bookchin is a must read too. might get them to see what strangling limiting farce scarcity dog-eat-dog capitalism really is, and dispel the myths and propaganda and slander that anarchism has received. and awaken them to how much richer and better off they'd be if instead of taking, they were part of the flow with the rest of us, and were giving.

    [​IMG] hoarders beware, your thinking will be adjusted. :)
