Libs and especially conservatives have this irrational fear of Marx, as if his books are the Necronomicon and merely glancing at a page leads to you getting mindfucked and possessed by otherworldly forces. Motherfucker it's just a book, you can read things you don't agree with lmao
Yeah, it's weird. Outside of his outright political writings, Marx's work is just him studying history, philosophy and economics trying to figure out the laws of human history. Communism was just the natural discovery he arrived at during that process. You could legit slip Adam Smith's name on a volume of Capital and libs wouldn't be able to tell the difference lmao
Fair enough, I can see how they'd be opposed to reading Marx. I completely forgot what it's like to put down a shit book after years of pushing through complete garbage like Julius Evola lmfao

It is a view of capitalism antithetical to the Milton Friedman tier content Americans are raised on.
In that sense, it advocates for an understanding of the function of the economy contrary to what we've been lead to believe.
Gonna put on dark ritual music and use the vibe to trick myself into reading theory
I mean, I tossed The Road to Serfdom after the first two chapters because it was just so backwards and demonstrably incorrect.
At a certain point, your priors will get in the way of appreciating content. Some of these works are bad enough to make my skin crawl.
I imagine that's what it is like for a Neoliberal or Conservative to read Marx.
