Pick up Mein Kampf instead

>>8523402
There are only two translations in English.
The Samuel Moore translation was done after Marx had died but Engles wrote the preface. The other one which is the penguin one is the one used by David Harvey and he seems to know a lot about it. Just choose one, both translators have a deep understanding of Marxism and you are not going to miss out on anything important with either translator.

>>8523402
Get the Penguin edition with the introduction by Ernest Mandel [he's a Trotskyist fart so his opinons can be easily ignored], it's a translation from the last revision (1872–1875) Marx actually oversaw himself in his lifetime [the French one].

This is good secondary work on Marxs work as a totality:

>>8523536
No, the version on marxists.org there is shit don't read that

>>8523402
Kapital is Marx's only relevant work today. You should have skipped the manifesto. Then again, it's a short read, so whatever.

>>8523438
I thought leftists weren't supposed to be elitists

>>8523873
Actual leftists (meaning they want public control of means of production) aren't, but liberals are. Especially white, middle-class and up liberals.

>>8523402
Read Smith'S Wealth of Nations first, and then Ricardo's Principals of Political Economy

The Ben Fowkes translation of Capital is the best one available, published by Penguin in association with New Left Books.

Oh, and this is a handy little primer. Just don't treat it as a substitute for the book.

There's also Prof. David Harvey's free series of online lectures on Capital: http://davidharvey.org/

>>/pol/ is hilarious sometimes

>>8525054
I don't care for Hitler any more than I do Marx, but using personal attacks against the former to defend the latter is a hilariously slippery slope.

>hack painter
>hack philosopher

>failed soldier
>failed anything but sitting at home and writing bullshit

>war criminal
>ideology inspired some of the greatest human tragedies of the 20th century in not only Russia, and Eastern Europe, but China as well

They're both assholes, and they should both be read and understood. At no point did OP sound like he was going full commie, but to be fair to you, the anon you're responding to was being very "hurr durr right wing."

>>8523759
The french one is a "simplified one" because french weren't as "intellectuals", as I remember reading. Do you think is better anyways?

>>8525062
>At no point did OP sound like he was going full commie
And even if they did, it's not as though authoritarian Marxists represent the whole spectrum of communist thought, or even Marxist thought.

>>8523429
>Don't post leftist nonsense

cognitive dissonance is strong with this one

>>8525062
your bourgeois liberal centrist is showing, comrade

Just most of it.

>"Marxism exists in nineteenth-century thought as a fish exists in water; that is, it ceases to breathe anywhere else."

>>8525131
There are probably more anarcho-communist, council communist, and autonomist Marxist theorists than authoritarian Marxist ones.

Which is somewhat different from asserting that they make up a minority in the communist intellectual current.

>>8525224

I know a lot about it. I don't see how showing me a list of nobodies disproves that.

>the communist intellectual current.

We call that a paradox.

>>8525229
>I know a lot about it.
All evidence to the contrary.

You can't make it less obvious that you're fellating an idiot's ego?

Communism doesn't promote elitism as an ideology, but most of the communists(not those meme liberal college trash) have good education/educated themselves to an extent that they become elitists as time passes.
