1st chapter is pretty good, I would suggest only reading that and following the rest of this guide. Das Kapital is for commited marxists, read "Wage Labour and Capital" and "Value, Price and Profit" instead, way shorter works and easy to read.

Read Marx, unironically. Then follow the timeline up and read other marxist thinkers. Alienation is fucking us up. Also I do like marx take on religion:
>Religious suffering is, at one and the same time, the expression of real suffering and a protest against real suffering. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.

>The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is the demand for their real happiness. To call on them to give up their illusions about their condition is to call on them to give up a condition that requires illusions. The criticism of religion is, therefore, in embryo, the criticism of that vale of tears of which religion is the halo.

>Criticism has plucked the imaginary flowers on the chain not in order that man shall continue to bear that chain without fantasy or consolation, but so that he shall throw off the chain and pluck the living flower. The criticism of religion disillusions man, so that he will think, act, and fashion his reality like a man who has discarded his illusions and regained his senses, so that he will move around himself as his own true Sun. Religion is only the illusory Sun which revolves around man as long as he does not revolve around himself.

Reminder to read Marx.
Marx BTFO'd Hegel. Marxism as a method of analysis is widely applicable.
Without reading Marx you won't be able to understand meme authors such as Nick Land and Zizek.
