    I don’t doubt it’s more to be found but what aren’t you doing that you have the time to read Capital like 8 times? This seems like so much western ‘marxist’ ‘my part to play in the revolution is intellectual masturbation!!’ I have never heard of one of these guys taking meaningful risks in organizing or action.

      i disagree, though i thinking reading capital 8 times might be a bit too many, i think the western left actually reads way too little theory, and as a result keeps retreading old ground over and over

      And indeed reading over a new translation of capital to check for errors such that it can be recommended for or against is actually a valuable service in my opinion
