    Which Marxism would that be, though? I mean, the Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts are rather different from the later Das Capital. The former is mainly about alienation, is relatively short and a good read, while the latter is a bit of a slog (but then I've only read volume one: maybe it gets better in two and three!). And then, it's useful to have read Hegel as a bit of background, as the dialectic plays quite a part in Marx's historical analysis.

    Labour, by the way, are nowhere near being a Marxist party. Corbyn's certainly taking it leftwards, but back to the non-Marxist 'socialism' it has historically mostly practised: e.g. state ownership of major utilities and transport networks and provision of an NHS are democratic socialist aims that the neoliberal swing of Blair renounced.
