Not saying Capital can’t be a slog or tough to get through, but this aversion to reading so many on the “left” have is just strange. There’s so much accessible Marxist texts out there that aren’t Capital, yet they hyperfocus on Capital to make the excuse of “it’s hard.”
The struggle is real for that one, it ain’t easy to get through Capital. But ur right there’s so many other works that are easy to read.
The classic “if Vietnamese farmers can read theory so can you” comes into play
