Because Marx was much more vulgar and he knew and saw the problems. So it’s only logical, that Communists are reading Marx, today.
Also I think it’s important to understand that there are even communists, who don’t read Marx, who hate Lenin etc. There are a lot of beliefs.
To the property… Property is ok for communists. The property of means of production is the problem. This is unacceptable.
At this point I am not sure, if you’re right or wrong or if I understood you wrong, like I said, my english ends at this point, in my native language it would be much easier for me.
Vulgar? I mean, the manifesto is snappy, but Das Kapital is hardly vulgar.
There’s certainly a lot of communists who don’t read Marx.
It’s not so much about being right or wrong - neither of us are right or wrong. It’s a discussion of ideas to learn from each other and try to become less wrong, or at least more reflected. It’s ideas, there’s no hard truth. :)
I’m sure there’s a lot of interesting reflections in there, especially for people wanting to develop theory further! I guess to a degree that’s what Engels himself had to do in order to finish up volume 2 and especially 3.
By published works I meant to refer to the writings that were intended for publication, but I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with looking beyond them.
Personally I’m more interested in theory. Considering Das Kapital is 3000 pages of dense theory already, I still have a while to go before I need to move on to private correspondence.
