    My god, last time the fact I’ve actually read Das Kapital came up, they pretty much just went for “no you didn’t”. Yes I did, and I didn’t even get a T-shirt for the densely-written pain.

    You’re a stronger man than I. I’ve read (and appreciated!) other Marx, but Das Kapital is like trying to eat a desert’s worth of sand without even the mercy of a glass of water.

      Pretty much. And then once you unfuck the language what he’s actually saying is pretty underwhelming. Hours I’ll never get back…
