    Why do you act like any one right of Karl Marx must be a dunce who blindly supports the global status quo?

            I’m not really in the business of sourcing things to users from an instance that is basically a Sealioning factory.

            Ultimately, I will get told I don’t understand economics until I’ve read all three volumes of Das Kapital. Ironically, it’s no different that libertarians saying you don’t understand economics unless you’ve read the works of Milton Friedman, or more importantly, Ayn Rand.

              Okay, except as part of the background of growing up in the imperial core youre already exposed to their ideology so you don’t need to read it. You’re not really exposed to Marxism here and you need a background to understand it.

              I agree capital isn’t the best starting point but for some reason anti-communists love trying to argue economics when they know nothing about economics, so thats when capital generally gets brought up and its become a meme from that.
