Wondering what to read before tackling the big book, so that I might understand it better. Recommendations please.

Inevitable anti-marxist rantings are anticipated but nonetheless resented.

Kolakowski's Main Currents volume 1

Familiarizing yourself with what people thought of political economy and sociology at the time Marx began writing would also be a good idea.

I've always seen Das Kapital as itself being the welcome mat.

From there you move on to more leftist

Value, Price & Profit is the best introduction to Marx although you don't need any precursory reading in order to understand Capital. Factory workers in Manchester understood it just fine and so can you.

Factory workers in Manchester had proletarian autogestation and praxis.
