Capital

>>9695788
Capital is the pleb-filter for leftists. You're on your own. If you don't make it, you join the ranks of the myriad "socialists" who "hate capitalism" without understanding anything about it or the history of criticism thereof.

Marx is a gay fag, literally an economic manlet angry at the world and fuming at all times.

He's also a traitorous jew bastard. Read about Stalin and learn the true madman ways.

How is he angry?

>>9695788
Start with Hegel and Feuerbach instead.

you may be able to find some lectures on it on youtube

It's literally not worth it. You're better off reading modern literature on neoliberalism and the impending end of scarcity fueled capitalism. Although I don't have any suggestions desu. Just do more research, Marx is not worth it in this day and age.

But to understand Hegel, you have to read Schelling, Fichte, and Kant!
And to understand them, you have to read Baumgarten, Wolff, Hume, and Leibniz!
And to understand them, you have to read Locke, Malebranche, and Descartes!
ETC

start with the Greeeeeeeeeeeeeeks

all this "you have to read first..." is procrastination as an art form.

>>9695863
not if you actually start with the greeks and work your way up, dilettante

It only applies to philosophy that directly engages with other texts to understand the criticisms being made. The only prepatory reading I could see being worth adding to Capital is Adam Smith, and to be perfectly honest reading the wiki page would be enough.

>Not starting with the Vedas

>>9695788
How about go fuck yourself

Read the fucking book or don't. Eat shit either way.

>>9695882
you forgot Ricardo my nigga

PLEASE /LIT/FRIENDS TELL ME HOW TO LIVE MY LIFE. I'M TOO MUCH OF A MEEK, SHELTERED, SPOILT, PIECE OF SHIT TO DO ANYTHING ON MY OWN.

>>9695788
Read some introduction or some companion you dumb faggot. There are full blown hardcore Marxists out there who don't understand some parts of this book.

>>9696004
Just read some Epictetus and fuck off

Back in college I was advised to read the last section (part 8), then go back.

Maybe read something more up to date than this outdated and debunked understanding of work.

>all work is productive on its own
hahahahah

>>9696169
If you're not producing something, it doesn't count as work, right? I'd be interested in seeing a counterexample

>>9695945
>not starting with sumerian clay tablets

>>9695882
>reddit spacing
try again kiddo

>>9696247
>not commencing with the cro-magnons

You should be taking notes but it's honestly not worth it

>>9696259
>not astral projecting backwards through time and communing with the primordial One before his self-differentiation into the multitudinous universe
