Been back on a book tear this week and didn't see this topic yet, so here we go:
Society Of The Spectacle: Guy Debord
A great introduction to Situationist philosophy. A must read if yr into Anti Ideology ( not to be confused at all with anarchy)
The Revolution Of Everyday Life: Raoul Vaneigem
More Situationist philosophy. Plenty of excellent points are made, but be prepared if you choose to read it as (especially in later chapters) it tends to mash several concepts
together within in one sentence. Many bands have lifted concepts from this text ( sometimes out of context.... but anyway)
Hatred Of Democracy: Jacques Ranciere
Finished this one a bit earlier and holy shit was it good. A post Postmodern attack on Democracy done extremely well. Two of my favorite points made:
- Wealth aims at endless growth,
but it does not have the power to transcend itself
- The democratic scandal simply consists in revealing this:
there will never be, under the name of politics, a single
principle of the community, legitimating the acts of governors
based on laws inherent to the coming together of human
communities.
