how? it's the most basic thing about economy. maybe it's because we don't have 50 states over here but we learned it. still capitalism.
Because an economy will still exist after capitalism, and understanding economic theory (like surplus value) is helpful in overthrowing capitalism.
I disagree. that's like saying the average serf needs to understand lordship to overthrow the king. no they just need to be fed up. the understanding of the intricacies of the new government is the job of scholars, not the serfs.
If they're fed up and don't know how they're getting robbed, then they'll elect a fascist they think is "good for the economy". We're not just trying to destroy something bad - we're trying to build something better.
