Why bother transcribing the explanation when it already exists in digital format where you can easily access it? If you can read a comment explaining it then you can read a book explaining it. And no this is not the only subject that people on the internet are told to read a book about, it’s just the #1 topic people like to play dumb about because there’s no rational defense for capitalism
Personally I literally cannot finish an entire book until I’m already interested in the subject. I can look up one specific aspect at a time in the encyclopedia, which has worked really well for me in other fields - including other social sciences and philosophies. Then something sparks and the heavy reading doesn’t feel heavy.
I’m interested in human progress in general, but keep being presented with what looks like an imposing wall.
I don’t expect you to spend the time and energy explaining whatever part about communism to that dude right here and now. I just wish they were links to lines of a FAQ, or anything that requires less up-front investment. Capitalism defends itself by limiting our time to read volumes of books.
For what it’s worth, I’ve tried to curate and tweak an intro Marxist-Leninist reading list over the last year or so. Section 0a is designed to pitch the case for Marxism-Leninism in as short and concise a manner as I think possible, the rest of the list is for those who actually wish to study in-depth and get a rock-solid understanding of the fundamentals. It isn’t an exhaustive list, I’d add Capital and Anti-Dühring for sure as well as some others, but it’s thorough and doesn’t have any glaring holes.
