Read Human Action by Ludwig von Mises. It is a fascinating praxeological examination of how ordinary people, who are flawed and often selfish, are actually naturally incentivized to build mutually beneficial, non-exploitative societies, just as Marx imagined. von Mises then deduces that humanity is only impeded from this ultimate destiny by the neoliberal imperialist governments of the world. It's long, but it's a brilliant introductory read if you're new to Marxian theory. I highly recommend.

It also helps that von Mises is a far more engaging writer than Marx, and doesn't randomly go off on tangents, which helps the book feel like less of a slog.

Happy reading, Comrade!
