I’m basically center-left and a market socialist who supports multi-party politics and democracy, and I wish to broaden my horizons on Marx. Sometimes I tell myself “I gotta study Marx”, but I can’t.

I also need help internalizing what I’ve studied about Marxism and incorporate in my political views.

Any answer is appreciated. Thank you!

Paul Cockshott has published scientific articles numerically demonstrating the labor theory of value

it sounds like you need to make some posts to c/marxism

    Paul Cockshott has a YouTube channel where he explains his findings in much more clarity and rigor than I can. He's a bit of a queerphobe, probably due to him being ancient, and the format of the videos is a poor sound quality voiceover of a slideshow, but they're there if you want a more accessible entrypoint. His papers are very readable though, he's fortunately a good communicator in that sense who doesn't abuse jargon and high register. But if you're really interested, you can write a followup to this comment. It could be fun to summarize some of his videos in a series of posts to c/Marxism.
