The non-Marxist things in this list are even more baffling, to be honest. Who the fuck is afraid of second-wave feminism in 2005? Also lol wtf Keynes.
Even most honest pro-free market economists recognize just how important Keynes was.
Seriously
Disagree with some of his theorizing, but he differently expanded the knowledge base
Who the fuck is afraid of second-wave feminism in 2005?
I mean it's 2020 and we're still up to our collective tits in terfs.
I can't decide if John Dewey, Keynes, or BGE is the most hilarious from this list. Gun to my head, Dewey.
I actually understand BGE. It's dumb, but I get it.
This is the first I've even heard of Dewey.
I'm probably just biased because I really like BGE and felt it, with some of his other works, were really formative to me for who I am today.
Dewey was an early 20th century philosopher of education that you have to read if you're becoming a teacher in the US. I don't remember too much but nothing of his stood out to me as iconoclastic, just that students shouldn't be passive subject in classrooms, that their interactivity with not only the subject but what the studied was key to their growth, and that a good education isn't just like, a training program, but teaches students to both inquire and solve their own inquiries. Idk generally pretty uncontroversial stuff. I didn't read the specific book mentioned in the list, so maybe it's a radical departure from his other pedagogical writings.
Too lazy to look into it, but it's gotta be from some sort of reactionary publication.
Unsafe at any speed is harmful? Are the judges fucking 1960's auto executives?
When you ignore the bullshit these garbage political ideologies claim to believe and view them as astroturfed pro-capitalist catch-and-kill operations aimed at anyone who drops out of the Republican Party their beliefs make a lot more sense.
Libertarians are Exhibit A.
sorcerers stone? revisionism! some british lib screeches on their way to gulag
What a masturbatory, reactionary charade. I guarantee the purpose of this list is "Let's make it so Communism is worse than Nazism." Lenin's gotta feel let down losing out to such violent theoreticians as John fucking Dewey
"Dewey's ideas were never broadly and deeply integrated into the practices of American public schools, though some of his values and terms were widespread.[2] Progressive education (both as espoused by Dewey, and in the more popular and inept forms of which Dewey was critical) was essentially scrapped during the Cold War, when the dominant concern in education was creating and sustaining a scientific and technological elite for military purposes.[citation needed] In the post-Cold War period, however, progressive education had reemerged in many school reform and education theory circles as a thriving field of inquiry learning and inquiry-based science."
damn, dude was cold blooded
Okay, the manifesto is obviously going to be up there but fucking Das Kapital? A fucking long ass critique of capitalism is one of the most harmful books? I can just imagine some reactionary dipshit reading like 120 pages about linen and coats and being like "My god, this is SO HARMFUL."
I cant believe "Pounded In The Butt By My Book "Pounded In The Butt By My Own Butt"" didnt make the list :0
No mention of the terrifying Communist screed "Pounded in the Butt by a Handsome Vape Cloud"? SMH my head
am werewolf, can confirm. poetry is one hundred percent how you contract the curse.
Literally how I read the Communist Manifesto... then I became a commie. 😕 Fuck, they were right.
Everyone being so scared of Mao is what made me want to read it in the first place
It's so painfully dry. Like, where's the Maoist version of "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance"?
Imagine being that threatened by the fucking Kinsey scale.
Weird thing about the Kinsey scale, is that many on the far left hate it too, because they see it as enforcing the gender binary.
it's descriptive, not prescriptive. the Kinsey scale is an accurate description of sexuality while the gender binary still determines so much of our lives.
I personally agree.
I just see a lot of pushback regarding the Kinsey scale from the gender-fluid/nb community.
This almost seems like Mein Kampf was thrown in as an afterthought
You know it was, because if they actually cared about learning from Nazi history they would've put Protocols of the Elders of Zion above it
ah no, see, they only talk about that when they can release the entire text of it without comment
"You know what radical, dangerous ideology we really need to look out for? Classical economics."
A list of most harmful books with fucking Keynes on it lmao, this was written by one of the worst people in the world. One can only imagine the kind of neoliberal ghoul that shat this thing out.
no no, you see, the bible saves™️ people. you cant harm someone by saving them!
thats what my pastor at the heteronormativity training center for wayward youths said when albert brought up the holy wars, genocides, condemnations and oppression of marginalized groups, institutionalized violence, role in colonialism and support of slavery... during discussion on mandatory proselytisation duties.
and well, im convinced. obviously it cant be bad if its saving people!

jesus loves you and demands we be good shephards of the earth!
slaughtering of women and children in verden goes on for some time
I’d just roll my eyes at “dangerous” but they had to use “harmful” as if that could have any objective measure besides how injured someone gets when you hit them with it.
