If you want a relatively short introduction to Capital you can read this: https://www.marxists.org/archive/cafiero/1879/summary-of-capital.htm

If you like polemics, read Emma Goldman's essays.

Kropotkin's "Anarchist Communism" is accessibly written and only about 120 pages long.

A beginner in what? You suddenly woke up and decided that you’re a progressive?

All suggestions in thread are good. I'd add in the Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844, and Errico Malatesta's "Anarchy"
Red Plateaus on YT is also a superb introduction to Marx, I highly recommend him.

The best first thing you could read is Martin Luther King’s Letter from a Birmingham Jail. In that you get the entire core of what differentiates the left wing stance from the rest of politics.

For an introduction:
The Three Sources and Three Component Parts of Marxism
Karl Marx: A Brief Biographical Sketch With an Exposition of Marxism
Manifesto of the Communist Party
Then read:
The German Ideology
Socialism: Utopian and Scientific
What is to Be Done?
State and Revolution
"Left-Wing" Communism: An Infantile Disorder
The Foundations of Leninism
Imperialism, The Highest Stage of Capitalism
Value Price and Profit
On Authority
Then you can go read Capital
