This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.

I listened to an audio recording and found it immensely helpful to picture these "commodities" changing hands in my head

Honestly for a mid 1800s economics book written by a German dude it wasn't anywhere near as bad as I thought it would be to understand.

It also helps that he repeats explanations about concepts a thousand times a hundred different ways. Though eventually you're just like "holy fuck Marx, I got it. Yes I understood the surplus value of labor like 200 pages ago"

As someone with ADHD, this was immensely helpful for me. I was able to understand concepts like surplus value and the value of labour vs. the value of labour power on my first read.
