You'll need to learn how to read first.

No, if you have even a cursurory knowledge of communism you're fine. That said, it is always best to hear it straight from the horse's mouth.

I'm not OP. I read the Communist Manifesto as an undergrad, but I've never read Capital. Am I missing out on much? I don't have any especial, particular interest in communism.

its like the difference between reading a republican party pamphlet and price theory

>Meanwhile, each succeeding winter brings up afresh the great question, ‘what to do with the unemployed’; but while the number of the unemployed keeps swelling from year to year, there is nobody to answer that question; and we can almost calculate the moment when the unemployed, losing patience, will take their own fate into their own hands.
-- Friedrich Engels, Preface to the English Edition of Capital Vol. 1

So, my fellow NEETs, how should we take our fate into our own hands?

I knew it. People who say they are objective and base their ideology on "facts" are just centrist who never even read anything besides Wikipedia pages at best.

I don't follow an ideology retard. I've read numerous books on Marxism and I've talked to Marxtards who say the end goal of communism is to not work and have everything automated

So what are your political beliefs? Also it's stupid to believe we won't work, the work can be reduced but we will still need to work. Were they left-coms by chance?
