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

But Capital doesn’t advocate for anything, it’s just a study and explanation of how capitalism works.

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.
