Unless there is someone to patiently walk them through it, they will not understand Marx trying to read it themselves. It’s pretty clear from their lazy reading, sloppy replies and fall back on cliches they are either taking the piss or mildly literate at best.
No progress will be made from self-education on this one imo, particularly with something as not completely modern as Marx. Maybe ABC’s of Socialism.
I get what you’re saying but I don’t think this person is just trying to take the piss on us, from what I read here they look like just another misinformed liberal.
You’re completely right about the rest tho, I usually suggest easier entry points like some stuff by the Deprogram boys, I don’t know why I didn’t do that this time.
When I suggested Marx I was more thinking about the manifesto since, while it’s language is very dated, it is still good enough to start and get a grasp while being extremely short, but I should have said that in the comment too.
