Wage Labour and Capital #1

Hello everyone, welcome to Theory Thursday! This is a community led project, the point of these posts is to read about 30 minutes of theory every Thursday. Then we discuss with fellow comrades the contents of the reading. This week’s topic we are covering Karl Marx’s Wage Labour and Capital, starting at the introduction and the preliminary.

Feel free to discus below your thoughts or insight into this reading.

Next week we will read chapter 1, what are wages, through chapter 5, the nature and growth of capital. Shout out to comrade GrainEater’s Matrix study group, and comrade CriticalResist8’s ProleWiki study guide, go check them out if you would like more resources and discussion on theory. Have a good week comrades, until next time!

    This aggression is definitely not warranted, I was merely providing feedback. Since these posts are pinned on the communism sub, I assumed it was an official thing and that feedback could be useful to further the develop the book club. I understand your reasons for keeping it this way, and I’m also not trying to force anybody here to do things different by just providing my perspective on what I think works best. Have fun with your studies, I might still participate again if I find anything actually interesting to say.
