Marx was just another YA fiction writer when you get down to it. Ahead of his time, sure, but he has nothing on Rowling.

    I read the Manifesto and Value, Price, and Profit when I was like 16, and not gonna lie, it was mostly cause of R E A D T H E O R Y being shouted from the rooftops every day on /r/chapotraphouse. Bullying social pressure works. Then I got The State and Revolution from City Lights bookstore and never looked back.

    No gray hairs yet at 20, thankfully, but reading that Ian Wright blog post Capital as a Real God definitely still fucks with my head pretty regularly even after 2 years

      I read those at a similar age but it was more just cause I had an interest in politics and found those in my family’s library
