Dear
@jordanbpeterson
, I invite you to join my free course, Reading Marx's Grundrisse. It could be a great way for you to read Marx for the first time! So when you next try to debate someone like Zizek, maybe you won't abjectly humiliate yourself again.
Oh good. A Marxist. In academia. 100 million plus corpses not enough for you, buddy?

Capitalism will never fall on its own. It will have to be pushed. The accumulation of capital will never cease. It will have to be stopped. The capitalist class will never willingly surrender its power. It will have to be dispossessed.

There is some social phenomenon which I suspect explains non work, non marriage, deaths of despair, general alienation and, I suspect, the rise of reactionary populism. It should be a major task of social science to understand it.

My aim is to get you to read a book by Karl Marx called Capital, Volume I, and to read it on Marx's own terms... one of his terms, I can assure you, is that you read, and read carefully. Real learning always entails a struggle to understand the unknown.

All along, since my first Marxist book in 1973, I've made the argument that social movements are just as important as trade unions in articulating the pathway towards socialism. The left has this fiction that the only working class that counts is the industrial working class.
