>where do i get started with Marx?
I just jumped straight into Capital on a dare from my old boss. but these two summarize Marx' main ideas in about 30 pages each:

https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1865/value-price-profit/
Critique of the Gotha Programme is also quite short, about 20 pages, and brings up the notion of there being transitional periods:

some people recommend the Manifesto, but I didn't find that very useful
if you decide to read Capital then joining a reading group is highly recommended
