What we have now is worse than feudalism. We can do better.

How do Marxists determine what property is one entitled to if private property rights (not necessarily Lockean) are not admitted?

>t-trust me guys, capitalism will crash and burn... any day now
he made this prediction 200 years ago, and since then multiple attempts at implementing his economic theory have failed and ended in bloodshed. meanwhile capitalism is still going strong, funny how that be.

PROVE ME WRONG

yo.. if you had... one shot.. one opportunity... to seize everything anyone's ever wanted.. would you capture it? or just let it slip?

I'm looking for a concise book about communism, the ideas of Marx or modern communists. Basically something that provides economic arguments for the left.
I know a bit about economics, and from what i've learned (or been presented) so far the left seems to be nothing but wishful thinking.
I've read some articles and watched videos and lectures from Memezek, and while interesting he never talks about economics.
Who has some economic arguments, Varoufakis?
What about Piketty, i heard he raised some dust, and my econ prof was really shitting on him for some reason?
Also, Das Kapital seems like such a long read it seems like a waste of time, i just want to be informed not write a phd.
I'm fairly open minded, which is why i'm asking in the first place. Please no /pol/ replies, i can go meming about how communism always [COLLAPSED], but i want to hear out their arguments.
