i had no idea. i finally sat down and started reading Marx expecting to find challenging arguments and lucid points. what i found instead was an elementary analysis of events followed by a complete misunderstanding of cause and effect. i was actually kinda shocked. i expected much more weight from such a famous thinker. but then he wasnt a thinker. he was a bitter reactor

Shit! You are going to make me read it. ๐ฉ
When I first read Capital I had to gaslight myself into thinking I must be stupid for not seeing the genius that everyone else claimed to see.
Took me quite a while to admit that to myself.
I had the same experience.
I read Das Kapital after Smith's Wealth of Nations. I can't believe people think of these two as equal in philosophical prowess.
