I finally found time to read Karl Marx, since I was able to borrow it from my school library and educate myself
Heres the torrent for the audiobook from audible by the way, needs more seeders:
Gonna seed it later, based torrent user
Thank! I’ll probably rip the other two volumes within a few weeks, and post those around.
Good luck. The first time I read Capital it sailed over my head for the most part. Ask around and see if you can find a discussion group or you might want to listen to the podcast “Reading Capital with Comrades” for an overview before diving in. Then again, could be I’m a little dense and you may breeze right through. Definitely worth the read even if it takes a couple rounds.
Is it your first time reading ml thory? If so, i think you should start with some easier readings, like Mao or Parentti.
yes it is, thanks for the recommendation!
I second this! Kapital while an important read is dry as sand.
Das a pretty good book

Marx Madness(podcast)(Have finished volume 1 I think) is a nice companion piece if you would like to hear what they got from various chapters. Someone here already mentioned starting with other Marxists, but to be truthful if this is your first time you should read through the shorter works of Marx and Engles. A good one is “The Principles of Communism” which is probably the best place to start. As well as Stalin’s "Foundations of Leninism " for the sake of understanding the base of ML practice and theory; and just to counter balance Mao’s works read Enver Hoxha’s works and for a general understanding read “Imperialism and the revolution” it’s a longer work but it does a great job tearing the entire Socialist world a new one (Very needed considering what was happening at the time). Also as a side note remember to keep the historical context of all this in mind as this will greatly help your understanding of how this theory was put into practice. Pickaxe and Rifle: The Story of the Albanian People and History of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (Bolsheviks) (Marxist-Leninist Theory on youtube has an audio version of this ) should be a good place to start if you haven’t already read through these. Sorry for the long reply comrade, but I felt it was necessary for anyone starting out to not fall into the pit of simply let’s say reading Mao and no one else (It’s best to keep your mind fresh). Anyway have a goodnight Comrade, I hope this helps in some way.
There’s a companion book as well as a YouTube series which breaks some of the concepts down for those less inclined to read such a unit.
What kinda thumb is that
