State and Revolution is SHOCKINGLY clear and accessible, and yes, not a million pages long.
Marx have me the false notion that all these revolutionaries were wordy as hell. Talk about false consciousness!
Honestly even Engels is way more readable than Marx. When I'm reading Engels and then he block quotes Marx I'm all of a sudden
I like when Marx says "in a word" and then it's a full sentence. Which maybe it is in German idk
In a word, Mietschuldenfreiheitsbescheinigung
I have to wonder if Capital would have been more accessible if Marx was anything other than German. There's a lot of "Germanisms" where he makes these huge ass compound words or almost tautologies with phrases like "The labor value is associated with the labor power of the labor voucher used by catgirl associates."
