Edit: emailed this person, told them to be more careful about what they upload to the server. Thanks for the advice.

Long story kind of short, I found a strange file on the server at work (Arabic file name, company working language is definitely not Arabic) opened it up (I was intrigued by the cover illustration) and after some translating I discovered the book was The Manipulated Man. Checked the file properties, I know who uploaded the file to the server, but I have absolutely no relationship with this person (besides working for the same company).

Where you tankie bastards come in:

Should I do nothing?
Should I confront this person? If yes, how should I confront this person?

Much Love

Why? You have no understanding of why this person uploaded this file, nothing to go on, nor any knowledge about this person beyond their account uploaded the file. Was it intentional, maybe they just copied shit off a flash? If it was, were they reading and agreeing or were they just interested in the book? You have no idea and you will never know.

Not everything needs to be a moral crusade. Every single co-worker, including you, have thoughts that would get you fired. Work is like the brown paper bag over your can. Maybe they're drinking soda, maybe they're drinking beer, but unless they do some shit don't go around trying to read the label.

To be clear, I am not looking to do anything to get this guy fired, only wanted to tell him that if he is reading this book and agreeing with it, he might want to reassess some of his world views.

It is definitely possible that he is only interested in reading the book, and doesn't agree with the vast majority of it.
