“Accumulation of wealth at one pole is, therefore, at the same time accumulation of misery…” — Karl Marx, Capital, Vol. I, Ch. 25 (“The General Law of Capitalist Accumulation”).

STUDYING DAS KAPITAL: Part 1 (of 8)

August 31, 2025 Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)

I can’t argue with William Roberts. Reading Capital, Volume 1, feels like Hell. Marx, in the French preface, likens the reading to the climbing of a mountain. I’m taking baby steps, though.

There is no royal road to science, and only those who do not dread the fatiguing climb of its steep paths have a chance of gaining its luminous summits.

William Roberts argued persuasively in his book “Marx’s Inferno” that Karl Marx structured Das Kapital Volume 1 to parallel Dante’s Inferno. Look over the diagram below which is taken from Robert’s book.

I wrapped my copy of Capital by Karl Marx in a transparent book cover and decorated it with cat stickers.

Edited by cats and Engels—one for dialectics, the other for naps.

I really wanted a Bible cover with handles and cute cats—zero fish, zero crosses. But after searching Amazon for hours, I came up empty. So, what’s a cat-obsessed bookworm to do? Settle for a discounted book sleeve… with cats playing on a bookshelf. Close enough! 🐈📚
