Does this server have a specific purpose or is it just dudes from /leftypol/ hanging out?

2019-05-15 04:33:07 UTC  

I know this is probably a dumb question but should I just go headfirst into Capital vol 1?

2019-05-15 04:33:15 UTC  

For reference I got my invite from @Firefly for no apparent reason other than I share one or two leftist servers with them

2019-05-15 04:33:26 UTC  

@Cake I'd read Wage Labor and Capital first, if you haven't already

2019-05-15 04:33:55 UTC  

I've been meaning to read it but I've put it off for a while and I don't want to feel like a brainlet when political discussions come up. @A Nondescript Weeaboo Ok I'll start with that.

2019-05-15 04:34:06 UTC  

Have you read anything else from Marx?

2019-05-15 04:34:21 UTC  

I've read the Manifesto and watched a lot of videos of people explaining Marxist theory.

2019-05-15 04:34:39 UTC  

oh yeah well i read memes

2019-05-15 04:34:40 UTC  

But I don't want to be influenced by their biases or anything

2019-05-15 04:34:54 UTC  

Ah, in that case I gotta say hands down the piece I'm gonna shill nonstop is Critique of the Gotha Programme

2019-05-15 04:34:54 UTC  

no i own lenin imperailism and capitalism but i still need to read the manifesto

2019-05-15 04:35:32 UTC  

The "main" part of it is actually only like twenty pages long iirc

2019-05-15 04:35:39 UTC  

Lemme actually get my copy real quick

2019-05-15 04:35:52 UTC  

I found one already

2019-05-15 04:36:56 UTC  

Nah I just meant for reference. Yeah it's a little more than 22 pages for his actual critique, and the rest are appendices.

2019-05-15 04:37:03 UTC  

oh ok

2019-05-15 04:37:23 UTC  

It's amazingly good for, in such few pages, immediately disproving 90% of anti-Communist talking points

2019-05-15 04:37:57 UTC  

>Everyone should be paid the same amount no matter what work they do

2019-05-15 04:38:10 UTC  

yeah that meme argument is dumb as fuck

2019-05-15 04:39:21 UTC  

Then the classic 'personal property includes my shoes and underwear and iphone and video games and hat and couch and car'.

2019-05-15 04:39:45 UTC  

Also, mentioning that there's going to be a period of time where "Communism" (or as most Marxists call it now, Socialism) adopts elements from Capitalism

2019-05-15 04:40:09 UTC  

Yeah, I forget if he talks about personal and private property in Gotha

2019-05-15 04:41:30 UTC
