I’m planning on starting a Marxist book club at my university, but I’m kind of dumb and have trouble understanding stuff, is there some trick I can use to understand more?

    How about chopping it up into smaller pieces; like a few pages or paragraphs at a time .

    Alternatively you can get together and listen to an audio book together

      if you’re reading something as big as capital you can also read someone like Cleaver or Harvey, etc, at the same time. They don’t always go in the same chunks or pages as you want to but there are a few guidebooks that match the main chapters and sections

      main thing to watch out for is the anti-marxist intros like Singer. they can be useful but you can’t let their criticisms put you off because the criticisms are weak
