It is not the consciousness of men that determines their existence, but their social existence that determines their consciousness. - Karl Marx
Ok, so October is here and I'd like to call those who are interested in reading Capital, Volume 1 to this thread.
To reference everything we discussed, you can view this thread:
viewtopic.php?f=12&t=109380
The last time I checked that thread, the following people were interested in being involved in the reading and discussion:
Anyone else who is not listed there and interested in participating in the discussion is welcome. However, I will delete any questions/comments by those who are not interested in participating in the group reading. Please post these questions in a seperate thread.
So, if you are still interested, please post in this thread and we'll get this started. Another point of discussion is how much we should be reading. I heard the point would be to read any version of Capital and read in terms of chapters. Do you want to try chapter 1 and see if this will work out? Also, in the first post of the thread I linked everyone to above, I provided a few locations that have questions in regard to each chapter. We could use those as discussion points along with any questions/comments people have about each chapter.
Examples:
Marxists.org: Capital: Volume One
Study Guide to Capital Volume I
Finally, please enjoy the reading. I don't want this to turn into something that is getting in the way of your life or other important points. We can see how the first few chapters work out. We must remember that discussion forum reading groups do not always work out but we should try.
