So far I've read: The Communist Manifesto The Principles of Communism The Three Sources and Three Component Parts of Marxism Socialism: Utopian and Scientific The State and Revolution Imperialism: the highest stage of capitalism
Should I just fucking read Capital or are there some shorter works I might wanna read before that?
I wanna read the bread book sometime but I was asking about Marxist works specifically. Should've made that more clear.
Dylan Flores
Those are all excellent but peep at German Ideology chapter 1.
Read it, especially the first chapter. If you ever have any trouble, use Michael Heinrich''s introduction to three volumes of Capital (use just the first for the first here). Can post it if you want.
Alternatively, Marx's Paris Manuscripts and Wage Labour and Capital are more note-formed excerpts from what you will find in Capital, hence more digestible.
critique of the gotha programme value, price and profit
Aaron Taylor
Well, Marx's economic thought development basically goes like this. Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts -> Wage Labour and Capital -> Capital
Value Price and Profit is good too.
Lenin: What is to be done? Stalin: The foundations of Leninism
Jaxson Davis
Gonna go ahead and post it regardless of what anyone says. Heinrich's text on Capital despite some inconsistencies is the faithful companion Marx's Capital, and nothing for Capital is better. Perhaps Rühle's abridged edition of Capital is second, but then it's also an abridgement that removes certain things one may or may not find interesting.

The political left is technological society's first line of defense against revolution
In fact, the left today serves as a kind of fire extinguisher that douses and quenches any nascent revolutionary movement. What do I mean by "the left" ? If you think that racism, sexism, gay rights, animal rights, indigenous people's rights, and "social justice" in general are among the most important issues that the world currently faces, then you are a leftist as I use that term. If you don't like this application of the world "leftist," then you are free to designate the people I'm referring to by some other term. But, whatever you call them, the people who extinguish revolutionary movements are the people who are drawn indiscriminately to causes: racism, sexism, gay rights, animal rights, the environment, poverty, sweatshops, neocolonialism… it's all the same to them. These people constitute a subculture that has been labeled "the adversary culture."
Whenever a movement of resistance begins to emerge, these leftists (or whatever you choose to call them) come swarming to it like flies to honey until they outnumber the original members of the movement, take it over, and turn it into just another leftist faction, thereby emasculating it. The history of "Earth First!" provides an elegant example of this process.

I suggest André Gorz's Critique of Economic Reason (available at Verso Books) which does a wonderful job of addressing the issues of wage slavery, technological unemployment, alienation and heteronomy. It was written during the late '80s but it still feels fresh, timely and on point.

It will place you in the practical mindset; it will make you understand working class failures and ways to correct them.
A version of this book translated into my native language costs 4 dollars online but pic related is the cover. Whoever designed it needs to be shot.

READ DAS KAPITAL, You can do nothing wrong with that one
Elijah Green
I'd read Wage Labour and Cpital, probably the best Marx work in my opinion.
Dylan Brooks
Yeah, you're one great uncompromising revolutionary, congratz. You do realize Marx's famous quote "If that's Marxism then I'm not a Marxist" targeted precisely dogmatists like you who mindlessly deny the importance of reformism, right? Idiot.
Chase Walker
You seem prepped as you will ever be for capital I'd say just dive in, I would advise taking it slow and making notes, just write down any shit you think is important, then if can't seem to find the thread look back at your notes and you'll be surprised by how much clearer it seems.
Also maybe you could read Society of The Spectacle, which is probably a little denser than those you listed but quite short and not as dense as Kapital.

yeah it's not that good. just something I had on my computer that was semi-relevant.

I didn't even take a closer look because I thought it would just be more dick measuring but it's beyond retarded:
This may all fall under pedantry in one way or the other, but the anarchist side is retarded: >trashing the IWW, an organization established by a fucking Marxist syndicalist (De Leon) Yeah I'm triggered.
