Does anyone here have a recommended course of study for approaching Marxist theory?

I really think I should know something about this stuff, but I'm pretty much limited to what I've gotten from wikipedia and the stanford encyclopedia of philosophy.

I've tried picking up Marx's stuff before but I dunno... Most of it just really long and dry. Does he have any books where he sums up his ideas succinctly, or something like that?

so, you want to understand his work without putting in the effort? why? why bother? fuck you.

I'm asking if he has any books where he summarizes his work for the layman because it's insanely obvious that his major works are not accessible to anyone except academic specialists.

uh no
Capital is a fairly easy read

Read the Communist Manifesto. It's short and not challenging. You have no excuse, even if you're in high school.

After that, read Das Kapital. It's not as easy as the Manifesto but it's not hard.

I've read the communist manifesto, I'm talking about his theoretical stuff.

I started reading capital but I can't imagine anyone being able to comment on it without a serious academic course of at least a year as an adjunct.

>>7727990
let me guess, you don't have any education on economics?
>>
>>7727990
just keep reading it, go slowly, and wikipedia things you don't understand
if that's too hard:
