Are you reading Capital? The couple of chapters are the hardest. Maybe start with something like Value Price and Profit
I am also reading Capital fam, not easy at all started over 3 times allready. I would recommend reading: A Companion to Marx's Capital by David Harvey on the side.
Thanks for your advice comrades! It's the second time I'm trying to start reading it. It's not that hard really especially after some introductory leftist literature/youtube videos.
What troubles me is the following. It makes sense that money (before abandonment of the gold standard) is a commodity. Can the same be said about fiat money? Maybe I'm supposed to figure it out when I finish all three volumes of Capital.
And I feel like a complete brainlet for not having read anything from Shakespeare except seeing some film adaptations.
It's hardly relevant to the rest of the book either which is just "hurr look at the shitty working conditions"
Huh?
Yup
start with the greeks shitter, you can't understand marx until you read hegel or atleast the classical economists like ricardo and smith so you can see who he's actually arguing against
Just go through it. When you finish go back to the beginning. But it is of course very difficult if you haven't read anything substantial from other marxists, from Marx and from some philosopher in general.
Bad advice. You don't have to know anything about Smith or Ricardo. All you have to do is live in a capitalist society and maybe go to a job for a capitalist. You don't need anything else to understand the basic thing of what about capitalism is Marx criticizing.
