This lecture is what really got me interested in further exploring marxism, socialism and communism. Richard Wolff is very good at explaining some of the basic concepts of Marxism (classes and class society, surplus value, exploitation, etc) in a straightforward way.
Me not trust u.

If that's not the case, then he might be too young for this board. Who knows.

If you want to understand Marxism, here is what you need to do.
First, despook yourself by listening to The Ego and Its Own as an audiobook. This is essential, so don’t skip the step.
Then, just read the texts. There is no rush. If you read and take notes on an average 10 pages a day (a quite modest proposal) then in a years time you will have a good understanding of Marxism. The attached picture is the reading list I would recommend you start with. You shouldn’t go into it with the attitude that you need to read all of them. Just take it one page at a time and if you get tired of it, take a break. The order IS important (top to bottom) and I can explain why if you would like me to.
Supplemental resources like the much shilled Law of Value video series are fine, but they are not a replacement, nor a primer. They are to be taken alongside the texts rather than before or instead of.
Here is the video series I’m referring to.

An important note regarding how these texts should be approached is that you mustn't read them as a Marxist. There is no sense calling yourself a Marxist if you have not yet read these texts, and if you commit to Marxism prematurely, your understanding of the texts will be clouded by your desire to defend rather than to understand. Read them critically! Don’t be afraid to disagree with something Marx is saying, or to agree with something one of his detractors is saying.
Please stop recommending this Muke tier pamphlet. The first section of Capital is a far better introduction to Marx's ideas. If anything, reading WL&C before Capital will just confuse the boy, as it seems to have confused many of the brainlets on this board. Marx had not fully developed The point of reading WL&C should be to understand Marx's development as a philosopher.
Woke.
lol
Cut myself off here.
…his theories at the time of writing WL&C, and at times says things that would be considered flat out wrong from a contemporary Marxist perspective.
