Nice, happy for you, comrade!

bourgeois-enforced social reproduction of proletarian anti-intellectualism lowkey got me feeling hopeless in c/doomer@hexbear.net

This post seems to be targeting other Hexbear users. While I do see new communists tend to try to flex fancy terms on non-communists, most of us do try to simplify a bit. When OP is discussing how capitalists use culture to socially reinforce anti-intellectualism in the public, it's pretty clear to us what she means, but I doubt OP is going to use that same terminology when talking to someone outside the communist sphere.

You're not dumb, nor illiterate, just likely unfamiliar.

Agreed! It's a price hike over something like just using an OXO Rapid Brewer or old french press, but it's absolutely worth it for daily coffee preparation. It's also just a pleasant morning ritual!

They tried. There's only so much correctly analyzing can do, there's always room for failure, and the SPD allying with the state and murdering the communists damaged the KPD greatly.

Das Kapital Reading Group 2025 – Week 48, January 14 - January 20 – Volume 3 Chapter 32-44 (hexbear.net)
 

Hop in, comrades, we are reading Capital Volumes I-III this year, and we will every year until Communism is achieved. (Volume IV, often published under the title Theories of Surplus Value, will not be included, but comrades are welcome to set up other bookclubs.) This works out to about 6½ pages a day for a year, 46 pages a week.

I'll post the readings at the start of each week and @mention anybody interested. Let me know if you want to be added or removed.

Week 48, January 14 - January 20, Volume 3 Chapter 42-44

We keep going.

Discuss the week's reading in the comments.

Use any translation/edition you like. Marxists.org has the Moore and Aveling translation in various file formats including epub and PDF.

AernaLingus says: I noticed that the linked copy of the Fowkes translation doesn't have bookmarks, so I took the liberty of adding them myself. You can either download my version with the bookmarks added or if you're a bit paranoid (can't blame ya) and don't mind some light command line work you can use the same simple script that I did with my formatted plaintext bookmarks to take the PDF from libgen and add the bookmarks yourself. Also, please let me know if you spot any errors with the bookmarks so I can fix them!

There is another reading group on a different schedule at https://lemmygrad.ml/c/genzhou (federated at !genzhou@lemmygrad.ml ) (Note: Seems to be on hiatus for now) which may fit your schedule better. The idea is for the bookclub to repeat annually, so there's always next year.

Hop in, comrades, we are reading Capital Volumes I-III this year, and we will every year until Communism is achieved. (Volume IV, often published under the title Theories of Surplus Value, will not be included, but comrades are welcome to set up other bookclubs.) This works out to about 6½ pages a day for a year, 46 pages a week.

I'll post the readings at the start of each week and @mention anybody interested. Let me know if you want to be added or removed.

Week 40, November 19 - November 25, Volume 3 Chapters 24-25

We keep going.
