No, but thank you though.
Why not?
Reading Marx is like reading Adam Smith. Both wrote about economic systems before economics was even a thing. All ideas start somewhere but our ideas, and our society, have advanced dramatically in the 140+ years they've been dead. They're more interesting for historical purposes than economic ones.
It's always hilarious when illiterates proceed to make clowns of themselves by discussing things they haven't read.
