where do i start? do i need to read any prerequisites? are there any useful secondary materials to look at?
i just want to understand him in an economical/philosophical sense, i am not interested in politics at all

Where does he talk about his anthropology and base/superstructure? Can a Marxist bro please help me out?

kill the rich my friend. the only philosopher worth a damn was born solidly middle class

>Dude all crime will go away once the material base for it has evaporated
>dude same with the state, we'll make a giant global all-encompassing state which will then disappear, trust me.
>Everyone will be able to work voluntarily on anything he wants, there wont be any forced work anymore. Who's gonna do all the dirty jobs and who will organize the work? No clue desu!
>Sex will be free and anyone will be able to get sex as easily as getting a glass of water. The family will wither away as well, this will make people happier, trust me.
>WHAT THE FUCK WHY ARE YOU CALLING ME A UTOPIAN REEEEEEEE
How was he not a fucking utopian? There's nothing scientific about this.

>Write massive tome of text and critique on how capitalism came to be and how it is filled with instability and internal contradictions
ok, im following
>then write a very small corpus on how this will eventually lead to communism through forces that even he doesnt really understand
lmao why?

>Yeah bro we gotta do away with everything
>everything, including the state, money, nations, tribes, religion, the family, everything
>What we're going to replace it with? Dont ask yourself that, that's idealism. We'll make it up as we go along by critiqueing everything that remains.
Why did this guy have such a huge impact on philosophy again?

Are there any good criticisms of historical materialism, or is it really infallible?

Foucault said that Marxism can only exist in continental philosophy like a fish in a barrel, but that it dies anywhere else. What did he mean by this, and what are the implications for this for communism as a total epistemic and political system, and does it explain why Marxism has collapsed?

So when is the working class gonna rise up? It should've happened by now, right? Was he wrong?

>class consciousness non-existent and has never existed, consumed by far more powerful forms of consciousness
>workers dont give a fuck about material emancipation and care more about tribalism, religion and community
Why is he still taken seriously and how do commies reconcile the massive split between them and the working class they supposedly are/represent?
