    You’re very good at saying you’re right and very bad at providing evidence. The best thing about lemmy’s size is I can recognize which usernames to disregard immediately after enough encounters.

      The books Marx wrote are the evidence. If you read them then you’d see why they are obviously relevant today. Of course, reading and understanding serious literature takes more effort than trolling on public forums.

        Are there any modern books which talk about the same/similar contents which are easier/smaller for a beginner to start?

          These books are fairly accessible and touch on a lot of the same ideas you’d find in seminal works like Das Kapital
