Back when I was a :LIB: I had the irrational fear that reading Marx would turn me into some kind of... idk what. I also, for some reason, didn't think he used data, just waxed poetic like so many other philosophers- "... the point, however, is to change it" didn't truly resonate because I guess I assumed to change things is to think really hard, get good ideas, and :vote:
Well, I found Capital at a bookstore and was daring enough to open it up, see what was in there and... it's like, all data? Spools of linen, economies over time and geography? It's an actual study, not some fancily written treatise? It was somehow more boring than I ever imagined. But it had actual data, and I was surprised, but changed a bit... I was realizing maybe Marx was talking about actual things with actual real world backing.

TL;DR I'm a better researcher than Piketty
