everytime i come to a marx thread i leave more confused that i came in. i really want to understand it but damn it just so much information and everytime people takes sides and argue beside the facts.

it's been a big elephant in the room kind of subject for me that i have been avoiding for a while. any good suggestion to understand marxism through another author that boils it down (since i have no background in philosophy and know nothing about hegel and dialectics and materialism and such).

Why pick out models, doll them up, arrange food and props tastefully, then photograph them in poses? Memesters all around the internet post them unironically and it triggers my autism.

>Shakespeare/Dickens/Austen/etc. were snubbed in their day because they wrote populist fare
>Literary fiction lacks imagination because it restricts itself to the real world

So why did the Christian world get ever more secular and the Islamic world, even though it modernized as well, stay religious?
