/lit/ - Literature

>(a) don't like math

This point is rather bizzare. Economics as general theory has nothing to do with mathematics, but with the general structure of basic supply and demand and the organization of the socius with reagards to material means.

>(b) have a vague idea that there must be something better than contemporary capitalism, but they don't quite know what

Is this point meant to dismantle Marx? Marx discribes Capitalism as the stage before Communism, it's that it's better or worse, but an inevitable evolution.

>c) believe that superficial description, when suitably enveloped in philosophical jargon, becomes deep (critial realism, ontology, consciousness, human subjectivity, etc.)

Marxism is philosophically heavily agianst metaphysics and discourses on Subjectivity. Read Adorno's "The Jargon of Authenticity" or Fredric Jameson's "Postmodernism or, The Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism" if you want a Marxist deconstruction of late 20th century continental philosophical theories.

And read Marx himself, start with Communist Manifesto and Theses on Feurbach and work towards reading the German ideology and an annotated version of Kapital.

Other obviously interesting Marxists schollars are Lukács,Adorno, Althusser,Jameson, Zizek etc.
