You kid, but I have wondered on occasion what it would be like if Capital were rewritten in the style of the Dao De Jing — how laconic could you make the ideas before they break down completely?

Paul Cockshott has a few interesting videos on how Marxism in the west has created its own difficult jargon because it's been pushed by masturbators in the academia.

No matter how much you read or understand, someone is always going to come along and show you an essay from a century ago proving you wrong. Your classification and understanding of the issues is fundamentally misguided because you don't understand some niche schism that has absolutely no bearing on anything tangible to our world.

We've built a monolith that now stands unintelligible to the masses. Sure you can join our movement but first I need to to slog through 3 massive volumes of dense theory, then read everything written, by x,y,z, leader, and don't forget the rebuttals. It's almost impossible to get into because it requires years of dedicated study. It's worth it, but it ends up being an unending intellectual persuit more than anything.
