I was a ML until I read more of Marx’s works and letters beyond the minimal recommendations of “oh lol hey mate just read The Manifesto, Wage Lab & Cap, and his work on the french revo, not Kapital, it’s too hard! Afterwards, move onto Lenin because LOL there’s nothing to or beyond Marxism than just those works” Nowadays any “M”L who recommends Lenin after those works will peeve me to no ends, crucial works like the 1844 manuscripts are ignored because of that reductive view of Marx as only those works, if you’re a disillusioned anarchist, I would recommend going deep into Marx and not just stay on the surface.
I’m recommending to read a ton of Marx and not just go with little Marx and then move onto Lenin or someone else, that’s my entire point here, I think that if you don’t have a substantial foundation of Marx before going to others, you’re gonna miss alot.

so you're recommending the 1844 manuscripts directly? or just recommending to read capital
