Yeah but Kapital is supposed to be an in depth economic description of how capitalism works. They're two different works with two different purposes with Kapital being an economic science work where socialism beforehand had been a philosophical movement without the receipts to properly call out capitalism as an economic system. At least that's my understanding.

I just ordered volume 1 of Kapital so if anyone wants to start a Kapital reading group I'd be down.
