I started Capital. The first like 20 pages are about value, use value, exchange value... All building up to how money is supposed to be a physical representation of labour... I must persevere, but good lord...😓

Have you read anything else by Marx prior? It can be pretty intimidating if taken on at first. Personally, I found studying dialectical materialism, Marx's method, to help dramatically with understanding Capital.
