Autobiography of my Mother

there is absolutely nothing wrong with nepotism.

You want to read the prince by Machiavelli.

>>22316038
If you're in a position of power and have the capacity to give jobs positions to anyone, why not give them to the people you care for instead of some random?

>>22316038
Nepotism is the natural way of life and I’m tired of pretending otherwise. People look out for their own

culture of critique

I hate it when lefties complain about nepotism. Lefties are one of the most nepotist people in the world.

>>22316913
enjoy your neo-feudalistic dystopia peasant :)

>>22317231
I would be a feudal lord in feudalism.

>>22316794
I’m asking the “why” not the “how”, genius

>>22317222
Not a leftist

Exactly zero books recommended. Do better, people.

>>22316917
Already have.

Because it’s a dick move, considering unemployment is a huge problem these days

>>22317814
How is it a dick move to care for your friends?

The Old Testament unironically. The family is the strongest social bond and unit creating links of affiliation and duty.
At the same time we see in the bible the basic egotistical desire which motivates the expansion of familial power. Fathers pass their power and inheritance to their sons in the hopes of seeing the continuance of their own name--that through their son their name will live on and still confer glory to them beyond the grave.
Jacob/Israel explicitly says this at the end of Genesis.
The author Unamuno also tackles similar theme in much of his writing.

In this case they're the same thing dipshit. I spelled out the "why" for you in basic steps.

You're either retarded from a traumatic brain injury suffered as a child, or you're not being clear as to the scope of the answers you're seeking here in this thread, so expand on what you're talking about and help us to help you, or choke on your own sputum like the flailing idiot I so hope you not to be.

I can't answer this without getting into critiques of Capitalism (not a commie, fuck off tankies). I think this question and maybe this thread might be better suited on /his/

>>22317233
Based and checked.

>>22318176
I don’t like Unamano but maybe give me an exact book, perhaps?

>>22318222
Wasted trips

>>22318233
/his/ doesn’t read, usually

>>22318222
The trips of truth have spoken. >>22316038 is a bumbling retard.

>>22317233

We are all temporarily embarrassed feudal lords until we make it, anon.

>>22318496
Better a retard than a /lit/ poster I guess

>>22318458
Abel Sanchez and compliment by reading through Genesis.
Why don't you like Unamuno?

>>22318711
His commentary on fascism being cured by traveling. Some people cannot afford to do so, so hence, people remain around familiar territory are de facto fascists, that would mean almost all of middle America. And if you agree with that premise, you’re literally no different than a modern day champagne socialist (I’m not going to elaborate on what that entails, I’m sure you can figure that out. Think gentrification, pretending to like Karl Marx, love diversity but won’t let minorities live in your neighborhood, etc) I’m sure you catch my drift.

>>22317233
Are you a feudal lord now though?

>>22319163
Never really read any of his more explicitly political writing. Just his fiction which is really good.
