Is anyone here interested in having an Online Discussion Group around Marx's Capital? I found a really good video lecture series on youtube tied to the book that would assist in the process of getting through it. Apparently it isn't an easy read, but to those that take the time to understand it provides and unique and insightful look at the capitalist system.
We could maybe break the book and video series down into weekly blocks and then proceed to discuss along that framework.
Here is the video series: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBazR59SZXk
Here is a link to the PDF of the reading: http://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/wo ... lume-I.pdf

Lecture one discusses the importance of understanding dialectics when reading Marx. Here is a good primer on what "dialectics" is.
