Mein Kampf was a guidebook outlining the steps needed to overthrow the German Republic. Das Kapital is a dense and boring treaty on Marx's theory of economics. Comparing the two shows how shallow your understanding is.
Also, do you believe that billionaires and workers have fundamentally different and opposing interests and incentives? Then you subscribe to the core of Marx's theory too.
- FredPret 1y agoGoing to bat for Das Kapital shows how shallow your understanding is. It's a dry and boring book that latches onto the real frustrations of the working class to push an economic ideology that is so incompetent and disconnected from reality that it's completely indistinguishable from a genuine attempt to destroy society. The fact that there's a 100m dead people and dozens of shattered cultures all around the world attests to the effectiveness of this attempt.
- thrance 1y ago> latches onto the real frustrations of the working class This book clearly is not addressed to the "working class". It's so dry and academic. Very far from the political pamphlet you seem to believe it is. Das Kapital is pure description, it makes no prescription as to how society should be run. Do you not believe classes exist? Is that the hill you're willing to die on? I wouldn't recommend reading it because of how dry and boring it is, but maybe try to learn what's in it at least? If anything, so you don't make a complete fool of yourself next time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Das_Kapital https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Das_Kapital
