Capital is Marxism, plainly, but I'm obviously not going to recommend that to start. Instead, if you want to be more well-read than 90% of people, read Wage Labor and Capital as well as Value, Price, and Profit. You can find these on the Marxist Internet Archive for free: http://marxists.org/

Thanks, I'll have a look at that.

No problem! There are a ton of useful works, the Manifesto of the Communist Party is fun and Principles of Communism is a good FAQ too, but VPP and WLaC make up the best 1-2 punch of Marxism you can get.

The Communist Manifesto comes in graphic novel form, everyone!

It's actually a pretty fantastic adaptation. I've read both and they're both short, easy reads.

Ooh! That sounds great!
