Marx was just another YA fiction writer when you get down to it. Ahead of his time, sure, but he has nothing on Rowling.

Reading Marx keeps you young. I swear I de-aged a month reading the communist manifesto the first time.
I actually wonder how many people who have read Marx did so before they were 20. If any of the rest of you all were delving into Marx that young, that’s impressive. Let’s just say I was a bit older than that before I did. I wish I shared your experience, Commiejones (joke as it may be). but I feel more like learning theory is the equivalent of putting on the They Live glasses, and if anything, it might have given me a few early grey hairs.
I read the Manifesto and Value, Price, and Profit when I was like 16, and not gonna lie, it was mostly cause of R E A D T H E O R Y being shouted from the rooftops every day on /r/chapotraphouse.
Bullyingsocial pressure works. Then I got The State and Revolution from City Lights bookstore and never looked back.No gray hairs yet at 20, thankfully, but reading that Ian Wright blog post Capital as a Real God definitely still fucks with my head pretty regularly even after 2 years
Putting on the They Live glassed or reading the Necronomicon, depending on your preferred genre, but yeah, I’m pretty sure my eyes used to be less sunken and dark-ringed.
SHHHH!
From now on you say that you are 40 years older than you really are. Got it?
We need to tell Libs that the more Marx they read the younger they will look and feel. If they don’t believe it you say “It doesn’t hurt to try it” If they claim it didn’t work you say “maybe you just didn’t understand it.”
(this is a bit but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try it)
Erk! Sorry.
whisper Ok, I’ll keep the
on the DL! But if any of them do understand, they’ll be wearing the They Live glasses too and will know that I misled them… for a good cause though.
Started reading actual Marxist works well north of my 20s. Every time something clicks in my head another hair goes white.
Side note, every time my mom sees me she keeps saying “why do you have so many white hairs? You’re still young!”
Can confirm I’m approaching 40 and still get carded regularly
