Capital (Abridged) in summary

I meet a lot of people who tell me they tried to read Capital and bounced off of it. Of course, Marx’s opus is both very long and somewhat dense (especially if you don’t have much experience reading such theory), and so I always recommend people dead set on the tome try Capital (Abridged).* To help people with this book, I have also been writing summaries of each chapter.

(Future chapters forthcoming—if I can just get back around to it)

*Ed. Julian Borchardt, 1919. Trans. Stephen L. Trask, 1932.

Yeah I figured. ….the trouble is I generally want to murder anyone who unironically uses leetspeak, and MSE goes double because it’s deliberately made to be mocking towards anyone you argue with. I do like arguing, trying to feel out someone’s brain, but…. Coming in telling me that I am evil simply because of my nationality just makes me confused and irritated.

It frustrates and breaks my heart to see how the word Volk is so often treated as a fascist signifier, when it’s another thing the Nazis took from the Communists! Volk is just the German word for “people”/“masses”, and it was used in Kommunist Partei propaganda in the same way these words are used in English. The DDR’s army was the Volksarmee; the Volk are the addressees of Die Internazionale; Volk is as much a Nazi word as is Sozialismus! I get that the word is probably forever tarnished in the anglosphere, but please at least understand where this fascist association comes from.

in terms of “people you can cite that I am most likely to assume are incorrect”, your therapist is pretty far up there with your parents

frankly if the biggest problem in your life in terms of "fucked up traumas for life" was "i was good at school and people expected a lot from me and then I was Mid at school and then people were kind of disappointed" you have lived a remarkably comfortable life. and i do kind of hate you for it.
