Two Orwell books. The kids are not alright.
Harry Potter and Orwell are the millenial liberals go-to books for all political and philosophical thought. Every situation or facet of life has to be equated to some part of those books.
Don’t forget Star Wars!
I wish they’d go to Star Wars for political insight…
The communist manifesto isn’t a book, it’s a pamphlet. The bible is a patchwork of several books plus other writings that were tacked on centuries later.
For context, the communist manifesto is only about 7000 words. If you rant on the internet a lot like a lot of leftists, me included, you probably wrote more than that in, like, a week or two worth of comments? Many research papers are over 7000 words, as are many instruction manuals and warranties. I do literary roleplays where each person plays a character and we collectively write a story together (think dungeons and dragons but even nerdier and you’re effectively playing a campaign in novel form), and with an engaging plot arc an especially active RP group can bang that out in a day. The Librovox audio book of it is less than an hour and a half long, and Librivox is pretty notourious for reading stuff too slowly for many people. I can start listening to it at the start of my commute to university, and finish it before I get there. There are podcasts talking about the latest Jake Paul drama that’s longer than that.
It’s not the “bible” of communism, it’s the TLDR of communism. If someone (usually a fake socialist lib) says they “finally” finished the communist manifesto, they didn’t even thumb through it if they think that’s impressive. Yet it’s shockingly common.
Surprised they don’t have Mein kampf, oh right, fascists don’t read.
One right and five wrong 🤣
