I started reading theory because I'm working class. I already hated capitalism, but didn't understand the ways it works or what needs to be done to establish socialism. I wrote a basic ML study guide if anyone wants a place to start!

People read communist theory because they want to find the root causes of their own and societal poverty. So they're not really separate social groups / classes, one person is just asking the why and the other isn't.

You can borrow $10 if you sign this contract promising to return it to me with 9000% interest by tomorrow or else the interest rate increases 9000% on top of that every minute after the original agreed return time.
