I'm basically center-left and a market socialist who supports multi-party politics and democracy, and I wish to broaden my horizons on Marx. Sometimes I tell myself "I gotta study Marx", but I can't.

I also need help internalizing what I've studied about Marxism and incorporate in my political views.

Any answer is appreciated. Thank you!

In this video, I explore the core of the Kings Movement and its deep connection to the recent Delhi protests. Are we witnessing a turning point?

Dil na-umeed toh nahi, nakaam hi toh hai, Gham ki shaam lambi hai, magar shaam hi toh hai..." ​(The heart is not devoid of hope, it is merely defeated right now; The evening of sorrow is long, but it is just an evening after all.) ​An income of just ₹50 a day—not even a single US dollar. Yet, people like him do not give up on life; they never stop dreaming. This beautiful Shayari by Faiz Ahmad Faiz kept echoing in my mind while observing this elderly gentleman's struggle on N.S. Road, Kolkata. Despite having so little, their fight for survival remains remarkably beautiful. ​Years ago, the renowned economist Thomas Piketty, in his famous book Capital in the Twenty-First Century, discussed how wealth becomes concentrated in the hands of a few. Standing on the foundation of inherited or generational wealth, a small fraction of people rules nations and controls society. ​Today, as we witness the ultimate centralization of wealth globally, we are also searching for a collage of humanity's boundless life force. This story shows us exactly that. It tells us that in the era of 'Capital in the 21st Century', despite harboring countless unfulfilled desires, ordinary people create a new kind of "mental capital"—one that never accepts defeat.

Does anyone agree with that statement?
