This isn't McDonald's and I'm not your oncall personal spoon feeder.
Then don't complain about me assuming you are either too dumb or too uneducated to understand why empty words like those and your wishful thinking can't result in a functional governing/economic system.
You're making claims about a subject you are not an expert in, and refusing to read any literature on the subject.
You shouldn't be calling others dumb or uneducated.
But also Capital is written that way to preempt arguments; it's an academic work. His other works only suffer from 3 page long sentences that require significant contextual and historical knowledge of mid 1800s europe.
Lenin is an easier place to start.
I unfortunately don't have unlimited time, so I am forced to refuse to read books that are unlikely to be relevant.
Then maybe can you point to a work that does not assume an 1800s economy? Also, Marxism was tried already by the Bolsheviks. It failed horribly. If there were no improvements made since, what is the point? While I like the scientific method, I am certainly not willing to try the same thing again and see if just as many people die a second time.
I am not interested in being expert on communist history, I am interested in examining any modern plan to see if I can see issues in it or if it looks like it could work and is worth supporting.
Capitalism kills far more people, by design. While the famine in the USSR was due to wide-spread drought, the famine that would kill millions in Bengal a few years later was entirely man-made.
You cannot understand present society, let alone have a model that can predict future developments with any reliability if you don't learn history.
But if you want to understand economics, you're gonna have to read a book on economics.
Lenin's Imperialism: The Highest Stage of Capitalism is good if you're more interested in higher-level detail than Marx talking about linen.
State and Revolution is more history and provides analysis of communist projects.
