Religious books aside, The Capital (the original, Marx's) is the foundational book of an ideology that led to hundreds of millions of deaths. So, no thanks.

I have read things by the author, and he is just that, a neo-Marxist, who divides society into good guys and bad guys, the bad guys being poor victims who can't defend themselves and then the only solution is for the communist politician to come and solve their problems. As a good communist, he will not let them solve their own problems.

He says that the return on capital has increased more than wages, and he is not the only one to say it, I agree, that is what's happened. But he does not say that today more workers than ever are investing. This is not Victorian England where workers were semi-slaved in order to have just enough to eat and could not own financial assets. Today the working "class" (if we can call it that) has mutual funds, owns homes, can share fractional shares for $1, and can buy bitcoin.

Most of us on this forum need our work to live, and have at the very least bitcoin as a financial asset giving us return on capital, others also have mutual funds and stocks etc.

And the tale of equality is another hoax. People are equal in rights and that's it. But throughout the world, socialist politicians are trying to equalize what is not equal, for example, encouraging women to study engineering, which is bullshit. Today there are more women doctors than men, and nothing happens to have a society with 80% female doctors and 90% male engineers.

And with the bullshit of wanting to equalize what is not equal, we have former transgender men, competing against women in sports, such as the UFC:

"UFC's Joe Rogan to Transgender MMA Fighter Fallon Fox: 'You're a F***ing Man'"

You meant economic equality but I am against it too. In an advanced society, people have to have a minimum: a place to sleep, food to cover their nutritional needs, clothes to wear and medical attention.

From that point on, the only equality there has to be is that of opportunity, not that of a politician taking from some and giving to others so that they will vote for him.
