>All the Great Men of the world, without exception, have been voracious readers of literature.
What the fuck is the link between reading a book and becoming a great leader? Napoleon, Stalin, Hitler, Caesar, Alexander have all been described as obsessive readers. Stalin has read more than 20,000 books in his lifetime, all annotated by himself and Hitler would read one book per night. Same with Napoleon, who had private-library-on-wheels that he would take on his military conquests. Alexander the Great had his favorite copy of Illiad that he took everywhere he went and constantly requested new books to be delivered to him while campaigning in Asia.

narcissism

Books = Knowledge
Books also = Better rhetoric
All of this = Power and = Cult of personality

>>24528789 (OP)
Napoleon > Alexander > Stalin > Caesar >>>>>> Hitler

They were in a privileged position of A) having money to acquire books at will, B) having free time and energy to read, unburdened by manual labor, C) having a wealthy family and good education that encouraged them to read.

So it's not like reading made them great, but they could read because they already had the resources to reach greatness.

Stalin was literally a bandit

>>24528816
This doesn't apply whatsoever to Stalin and Hitler.

What books does Trump read?

>>24528853
hitler was a literal nepobaby that leeched off his better off beneficiaries by sliming them up with his visions that aligned with theirs

>>24528855
He skims through his own books from time to time

>>24528801
>Napoleon > Alexander
>gets utterly buckbroken by an Alexander
Explain this.

>>24528858
Hitler used to be penniless in Vienna and there's this incredible memory from his closest friend from that time where they were walking down the streets of Vienna and Hitler is talking about how he is going to rebuild the whole city and change this building and that building and build a great palace and his friend asks him "how the fuck are you going to do that? you are literally a broke bum" and Hitler looks at him and smiles and doesn't say anything else.

>>24528858
What about Stalin?

>>24528850
>robbed banks and ships
>mafia style „revolutionary tax collection“ from businesses
>smooching off central committee money from bolsheviks
>smooching off other sympathizers and donors
>smooching off underground cells that shared resources
everything is possible if you have no morals

>>24528861
>burns down his whole country and the capital and runs away like a bitch just to avoid facing napoleon

>smooching off central committee money from bolsheviks
Anon robbing banks and businesses is how the RSDRP got it's money in the first place.

>>24528858
More impressive than Alexander

but yeah, in his very early days he didn‘t have much and figured out how to get by
he could also just have gotten a job ykno
but thats apparently beneath the dignity of a special boi

>>24528871
well yeah, as I said, it‘s easy to get by if you have np with not giving a shit about others
>>24528875
yeah, kinda
I guess his career was finding ways to get people to finance him

>>24528866
>and the capital
Moscow was not that capital at the time, Petersburg was.
>just to avoid facing napoleon
But Borodino happened, as one of the largest engagements of the entire Napoleonic war, and both armies got decimated there. And Napoleon also fought the Russian army at Vitebsk, Smolensk, Maloyaroslavets, Krasnoi, Vyazma and Berezina, which were all clusterfucks for both sides. Alexander as his staff were never coy to fight Napoleon, they refused to give him le proper pitched battle on ideal ground in perfect circumstances. And that did bvckbreak him, and ended with Cossacks raping Parisian bitches.

Anon, I...

>>24528886
you think the bank gave that money back to the people that lost it? pls

>>24528888
> the people
98% of the Russia's population at the time never even saw coins or printed money through their entire life

>Good leader kills all his generals and officers before a giant war and then kills another 10 million of his own population by putting idiots in charge of farming and killing his farmers

Communists are inherently retarded and fail at logic.

>>24528907
He dejewified the party though

>>24528907
>kills all his generals and officers before a giant war
As France and Germany itself prove, it was the right decision.

>killing his farmers
As America shows, it was also a right decision.

Are you actually schizophrenic? You're trying to frame Hitler as soft and pampered? Hitler?

>>24528945
yeah, problemo?

Is it possible to learn that power at 25 so I can become Napoleon at 50? I started reading last year btw

>>24528789 (OP)
>how is it possible that people who accomplished noteworthy things were educated???????

>>24528954
No problem whatsoever, my little schizophrenic buddy. Enjoy your descent into a bewildering maelstrom of lunacy.

>>24528994
hey, he was a boi with a vision and he made it happen
thats commendable
but he definitely was a smoocher too

Hey come on man, don't be like that. Leave him alone.

this is the most important one in the modern world. most of the west realistically lives in an almost post-scarcity society, but you fry your brain and / or body at work. time is wealth and privilege
