I've lived all my life under capitalism and I hate it.

I've read Marx, (for real, grab the book and read it!) and I see the dude does have a point.

The Communist Manifesto

The language can be a bit tough to understand these days though so might want to read Ted Reese's Socialism Or Extinction instead

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 7 points 6 months ago

I'd recommend Chris Harman's How Marxism Works for an intro, or Engels' Principles of Communism. The Manifesto is more of a call to action for Workers than an overview of Communism, though it's still an important work nonetheless.
