>>10668349I am familiar with the work, but can't recall allot of it. Before you "attempt" to tackle the philosophy and ultimately drive you self insane, best you listen to the Audio book FREE right now on Youtube, "The Gulag Archipelago" by The Dictator's Handbook. The Dictator's Handbook: Why Bad Behavior is Almost Always Good Politics.
I HIGHLY recommend you listen to at least the first half, which is about 10 hrs of listening.
It is without a doubt, and listen to me on this at the age of almost 60, its gonna be the best Red-Pill on Commie/Fascist stuff, and why? After you listen to the reader detail how EVERYONE eventually became a target , including fellow Commies and Fascists, the very first thing you will ask yourself, well this sounds more like a Criminal Interprise than any kind of government or philosophy, and that would be correct. Whatever intellectual philosophy you believe is "just" or "real" evaporates after the initial "Revolution" or Revolt or riots, whatever. Its because during armed conflict, you have the abosulute possibility and usually the case, that the most VIOLENT and EXTREME of the rioters gain control, and they do it purely with force and brutality. They then become paranoid and turn on every single person around them, even in their own circle in an attempt to consolidate power.
Its far more accurate to describe Communism or Fascism as nothing more than Gangsters in Suits, Organized crime if you will. Thats all they really are.
