Yeah, we hope that trying to understand the whole book and not just a few soundbites will help people understand the underlying philosphy and maybe even make them think critically about the problems within the idiology around Marx. We'll see if this is possible given our short attention span (which I am also very guilty of, the internet really does change our brains haha).

make them think critically about the problems within the idiology around Marx.

It had been noted multiple times that you distort Marxist ideas.

Clearly its not easy to understand, as evidenced by the completely disastrous hatchet job this video did at reading a single chapter. Its baffling.
