- nkozyra 6y agoAnd you still don't know what Marxism actually entails? Impressive.
- fault_lines 6y agoTo be charitable to the guy, maybe he didn't realize that Capital is actually about capitalism, not communism.
- newen 6y agoNot if you don’t understand it.
- jhardy54 6y agoWhat was your take?
- thomasfromcdnjs 6y agoI actually liked his critiques at the time and I think capitalism should be constantly kept in check through government. (such that they balance each other out) My unsubstantiated opinion would be that Marx probably would of changed his mind at some point about making it some sort of collectivist movement.
- machawinka 6y agoif you really did, then you didn't understand it.
- dragonwriter 6y agoWell, you are labelling a prime example of what Marx calls “bourgeois socialism” as Communism 2.0, so you clearly don't understand Communism. Which you'd really understand better by reading a slim volume on the topic like the Communist Manifesto, and not thick volumes centered on critique of capitalism like Das Kapital, which is more about the problem (on which Communists generally agree with other crítics of capitalism) and not narrowly focussed on the solution (on which they differ.)
- thomasfromcdnjs 6y agoThe manifesto is one of the worst books I've ever read.
- fault_lines 6y agoYou're probably not the target audience, to be honest.
