Synopsis

Modernity has been defined by humanity’s capacity for self-destruction.

In this timely and explosive book, philosopher and YouTuber Jonas Ceika (aka Cuck Philosophy) re-invigorates socialism for the 21st century. Leaving behind its past associations with bureaucracy and state tyranny, and it's lifeless and drab theoretical accounts, Ceika instead uses the works of Marx and Nietzsche to reconnect socialism with its human element, presenting it as something not only affecting, but created by living, breathing, suffering human individuals.

At a time when ecological collapse is hurtling towards us, and capitalism offers no solution except more growth and exploitation, How to Philosophise with a Hammer and Sickle shows us the way forward to a socialism grounded in human experience and accessible to all.

Goodreads review by Rohan on December 08, 2021

A valiant effort by the maker of one of Philosophy Tube's popular channels to rescue Nietzsche from fascists and glibertarians, at which...he somewhat succeeds. While Nietzsche is obviously not painted as a socialist by any means, the author does manage to reconcile his life affirming philosophy and......more
