The Marxist Reading Group is an opportunity for socialists and socialist-curious folks of all stripes to come together and read an important socialist text while developing a historical materialist lens and informing our organizing today.

We will be continuing our Classics module with Karl Marx’s "Wage-Labour & Capital" AND "Value, Price, and Profit". These texts will serve as a condensed economic study on the nature of the economic elements and their contributions to a class society, together sometimes seen as "Capital before reading Capital" that will help us tie some of the philosophical, historical, and political outlook we’ve learned about so far with their economic implications.

For this session, we'll be completing and discussing both entire texts (there was a confusion for Session 1 where some members read half of one text while other members read the other, so please complete your current text and move onto the other) We'll be discussing this section on Monday, December 22nd at 7 PM CT.
