Reading Marx is not good for you. Either you dont believe what he wrote and it´s a waste of time, or you believe in what he wrote and from then on, you´ll have to watch out for what you are saying among certain people. Like Nietzsche: Read, understand and get depressed, or read, dont understand, and have lots of time wasted... (thats why i stopped after 100 pages or so of the later).

Not entirely true. You can read, understand, but still not believe it. I read the "Communist Manifesto" and Engel's "Scientific Socialism" (which is a better pamphlet, btw). I understood them. I just didn't agree with them. They brought out some good points, but I couldn't go with them to where they were going. Of course, "Capital" is the far better work.

And you don't always have to get depressed if you read and understand Nietzsche.

Well, I guess unless he burst your bubble about absolute morality
