I dont mean reall communism hasnt be tried bullshit I mean that carl marx, fredrich engels, lenin, etc. Were 19th century philosophers grappling with the world as it existed then. You cant read their work and not at least come out the other end less retarded.
These people don't read Das Kapital, though, which almost nobody does. Unless you're really specifically going to be into philosophy of history or get a degree in the subject, or economic theory in general, there probably isn't much point in reading it in its entirety anyway. It is dull and academic and mired in theory and what's worse, most of it is out of date and has been supplanted by reality. The same can be said of the Austrian school but it's at least somewhat closer to modern reality.
These people read, at most, the Communist Manifesto, which doesn't present a full philosophy, it's basically a sales pamphlet for the larger philosophy and meant to convince people of its own correctness, but not academics. It's meant to instill revolutionary concepts in the rank and file type people who go out and do shit.
Feed a bunch of useless fucking troons this and they'll just sit on their asses doing nothing and never even read the main philosophical works anyway, not even Gramsci or the more accessible radicals. They'll just sit around and bitch and demand free shit and shit themselves.
