What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little liberal? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class at Harvard, and I’ve been involved in numerous chapters of the DSA, and I have over 300 books about Marx. I have read Che's Gorilla Warfare and I’m the top scholar on the entire Soviet Armed Forces. You are nothing to me but just another idealist. I will wipe you the fuck out with dialectics the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words.

Ego and Its Own sucks, the Unique and Its Property is much better. The old translation is shit.

Not me, why? I mean, aside from the Communist Manifesto.
The closest I've read to Marx is probably Deleuze, and the Situationists.

Just testing a theory that anarchists have such piss poor understanding of theory because they don't have the attention span for Marx.

damn, that's really condescending. I know it can be difficult to talk to people you deeply disagree with, and I really relate to that, but if you think we're the enemy I think you may be genuinely confused on who you're trying to fight... but do you, don't let me stop ya

I've read and own the Communist Manifesto and an abridged version of Das Kapital. I agree with about 40% of his writing.

Which parts do you not agree with. Be specific.

why do you need to know? quit interrogating everyone
ctuyed OP wrote
Because I think you're full of shit, quite frankly.

I've only read the manifesto and selections from capital-- i have a lot of books to read, and I feel I've absorbed the main ideas from him & Engles through what I've read so far. If there are specific selections from non-antiauthoritarian communists like him that someone wants me to respond to, i try to do so, but tbh I'm trying to self-direct my own reading selections for the most part, and Marx doesn't really seem like the best use of my time

I had to read it at school. That was a Philosophy subject. Reading Marx is not following his ideas. It may be even useful for those who wanna know more.

And I don't mean the Karl_Marx wikipedia entry.
