IPFS, Urbit, or maybe a blockchain for books would be the place to store this, given the zundel shitshow.

I'm in the same position. A bloody pajeet (no Azad Hind blood, unfortunately). But the poz must be fought, for all our people's sakes.

I think that we absolutely ought to have both universal and ethnic components to this. The universal components should include an overview of World History as well as Mathematics. Logic, Ethics, Grammar, and Rhetoric. I think that there must needs be a cultural education in western culture as well, regardless of the various cultural subgroups which partake in our Reactionary Officers education. I think it is because their works are inherently conducive to the moral formation of men, having stood as a bulwark against degeneracy for millenia. This must include Aristotle, Cicero, Marcus Aurelius, Dante, Shakespeare, and, above all, Homer and Virgil. There ought also be the Art of the Renaissance, Classical Music and Architecture. There is little better for the moral formation of a man than the study of Classical Art, Music, and Poetry–provided that it is not of the degenerate sort.

I think the place to start is mathematics. Euclid's Elements and Spivak's Calculus are good places to pick up the rudiments of logic and proof in addition to introductory higher mathematics.

The other place to start is the ancient world. Starting with the Greeks is dogma for a reason.

I also think that it's important not to neglect religious education. The Bible, Aquinas, Boethius, Augustine and so on are important for Christians. Part of why Calvinism birthed Progressivism is because of the rejection of Church Hierarchy and continuous, erroneous reinterpretation of scripture to the point where it was no longer Christianity, but a secular and political religion which opened Anglo-Germanic to conquest by Jews.

We might want to hit up /mu/ for a classical starter pack, beyond the Big 5: Brahms, Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, and Tchaikovsky.

I agree with this being a iq: 120+ affair. This is for officers, who will be the moral, intellectual, and spiritual leaders for their men.

Lefties have brought up some real problems. However their solution "get rid of capital" is the result of the bourgeios mindset which only sees the world in terms of capital. You need to build a culture of aristocracy, artisanship, religious piety, civic duty, and moral decency. A pious man will naturally take care of the environment. A man faithful to civic duty will naturally care for the poor and build infrastructure. An aristocrat, an earl, will care for his loyal thanes and not allow inequality to grow too great.

You're right. Most non-whites do side with the Jew. IDK how to fix it, and until they find themselves under the boot, they won't get that Jews hate them too. It's particularly disturbing given who is the friend to non-whites and who is the foe, atm.

However, most whites also side with the Jew. Your people have the honor of being farther along, the tip of the spear. But even your people are still, for the most part, thralls of the Jew. See Cucks for Christ and Leftist Progressives (secularized Ultra-Calvinists).

Nobody is more aggressive in enforcing the taboos against anti-semitism or racism than whites.

Nobody (to your credit) is more anti-ingroup-preference.

That's why even conservatives are simply "muh economy, muh Israel," rather than "my kith, my kin."

I think Cicero's "On Duty" ought to be included precisely for the words "as a Roman," with the understanding that duty is to one's own, and pride is inherent to the honor culture. It might help fix some of the identity confusion that leads to cucking for the Jews among whites, as well as curtail some of anti-white paranoia in non-whites.

Friendo, for young officers having this discussion, what lefty works might you recommend?

I'd certainly not discount materialist analysis a la Marx. But I don't think it's sufficient (nor do I think purely geist focused analysis is sufficient). I'd not be opposed to having someone like Foucault on the list, provided it is given alongside a critique, or even just a postscript on interpretation and pitfalls.

We both want to curtail the bourgeios. I would suggest banning speculation and trade among those in positions of power, and, of course, monarchy. This necessitates income by property rather than capital, hence landed aristocracy. One man can only wield so much power. A beaurocracy can be absolute, and is the ultimate tool of the bourgeois.

That Manual for Civilization list needs to be pared down significantly, but it does seem like a good starting point.

Though I've no idea why they included Altered Carbon (though I maybe should read it before judging).

It's also worth noting that they included Isaac Asimov's History of the Bible, but not the Bible itself.

Has anyone looked at the Harvard List?

https://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Harvard_Classics_(Bookshelf)

It might need to be pared down a bit, but it seems a first class education in itself.

Is there a size limit on this? 15 books on history seems a bit much, esp from one author. I'd like to include some primary source work in there as well.

Figure 15 hours in a semseter. 1000 pages per 3 hour course. So expecting about 40,000 pages is reasonable. Figure an average of about 750 pages a book, and that comes out to ~53 books. I think 60 books should probably be the ceiling for a general education. And then maybe add a specialization on top of it, that's quite a bit of work. Thoughts?

>>9271

It's worth noting that while there might be some Calvinist (Proto-Progressive) influence in the Harvard list, it does for the most part seem to be grounded in the classics.

It needs the additions of science, mathematics, and history.

Also, these are syllabi from a college devoted exclusively to this sort of education, though, very much in that liberal-calvinist traditoin

inb4 multiple samefags.

It's worth noting that the Harvard list, the St. John's, and the Manual for Civilization lists are all liberal artsy (though the Manual less so). They say that liberal arts means simply "free-ranging in education" but this is a lie, because most of these books lead the the students to be good liberals. Milton was a liberal. Bacon was a liberal. Thoreau was a liberal. The Founders of the US were liberals. The intellectual and educational history of the west has trended towards liberalism for centuries, and all models of education derive from it. If the above lists weren't liberal we could simply take them and be done. So the question is, "What do we add? And what's not worth including?"

Probably obvious, but it needed to be said.

The teleological end should be a man capable of administering civilization. Assume you're educating the next Hitler (George Washington, Napolean, w/e) and all his officer corps, so that when the current elites willingly (if only for public opinion) consign their power to his far-more-capable hands, he is able to lead, to maintain continuity, and to re-establish order. This doesn't necessarily need to be "right-wing" in the sense we understand it. Concern for the working classes and for the poor is mandatory in any dutiful leader, however, it needs to be right wing in its concern for the Truth, the redpill above all else.
