But couldn’t you put Das Kapital and the Communist manifesto through it for similar results. Might actually do wonders since most zoomer complain about how boring and difficult those texts are.
Iskra is already coming out with Kapital and Communist Manifesto as picture books.
Hope that helps!
I'm almost done reading Kapital, Volume 1 again and, damn, some parts are boring but they're worth it. No one's out here saying every book recommended is fun. People just have to struggle through the boredom.
The books are not that tough. Folks need to do their due diligence and read, not just read what other people think the text says. Let alone a stochastic parrot.
it's dry and boring as fuck dude. I couldn't even keep focus on Harvey's bookclub videos. give me the adhd accommodation version and self-crit your ableism.
Considering that I organized a bookclub for Capital Vol. 1 in /r/CTH and created scaffolded and application activities, with a schedule, so individuals would feel motivated and it would help manage with executive disfunction and keep just about everyone engaged and on track, tell me more about my ableism.
And last night, I was, hilariously enough, talking to a friend with ADHD symptoms to compare with my academic and professional struggles. I’m not trying to be ableist, at all.
It was merely opinion on reading the primary text, and no where did I say somebody unable to do that is an idiot, or beneath me, or anything else? Are we not allowed to rate books on personal difficulty?

You call it dull, but he is constantly biting and critiquing existing academic. The book is full of literature references. The footnotes give so much context to British events, and people. Chapter 10 has some of the saddest passages about women and children dying on their working line, or being roused at 3am to get to work. It is a work of passion, but it strikes a fine balance between polemic and a theoretical work of research.
There were two other podcasts, Marx Madness and Real Ass History Hours that was an off the cuff recap for each chapter, rather than sentence by sentence discussion. I’ll find my google docs with notes. I can recommend using the perusal tool in our lit club, if it helps.
that's a strong accusation for a pretty benign suggestion, particularly when they're talking about someone who's work is constantly being twisted and maligned.
also, like, yeah its gonna be boring sometimes, its work of political and economic theory, not light entertainment. Struggling with the text is something everyone who reads it has to do, and its an important part of the process for actually achieving any kind of understanding of what's he's saying. Skipping that removes most of benefit of actually reading Marx or any other theory lol
That's one way to ensure that the country as a whole doesn't progress past a 5th grade reading level.
Ummm actually sweaty, over 50% of Americans have a literacy level above 5th grade, which is 6th grade.
And I’ll do everything in my power to keep it that way so the communists don’t brainwash us

Absolutely!

It will similarly be a dogshit terrible idea
The linen coats section is exactly the same length, but with gibberish non-sequiturs thrown in by the bazinga machine

Waiting on the inevitable manga version of Das Kapital where buxom Marx (though still with huge beard) teaches us about linen.
This kind of thing would do great for our local indigenous communities that don’t read or speak Spanish. I’ll have to look more into it.
Oh, that's a cool idea! You'll be able to find them here!
They're not released yet so it's hard to know if they'll be good but I so far have had a great experience with Iskra so I have high hopes.
