Is the penguin Translation of Capital the best out there?

Their translations generally get a bad wrap here but there doesn't seem to be any other unabridged competition in physical format.

I always see the Penguin edition in my university bookstore, assigned for courses, so that must mean that professors think highly of it. I read that edition myself and had no problems with it although I'm not familiar with other English editions.

Actually, it seems entirely consistent with facts and logic not to support an individual whose rule lead to the genocide of 60 million. Likewise I would have no interest supporting Mine Campf.

In what world is reading a dead dude's book 'supporting' them?

How was the intro (length and quality as you perceived it) and how were the footnotes, if there were any?

if you read marx you're supporting gulag culture. maybe you think it's funny and ironic to read marx because you know communism is evil, but what if someone who didn't know that saw your post? they'd think it was socially acceptable to be a communist and soon enough we'd have another genocide.

will there ever be a version pointing out everything wrong and Jewish about it like there is with Mein Kampf?

Stalinism=/= Marxism.

The book is an analysis of political economy through a socialist lens, there's nothing evil about it.

Also:

>communism is evil

>Evil

Are you a fucking child?

except Marx didn't advocate genocide, quite the opposite but Hitler did. Also hundreds of millions of people died under slavery, Belgian Congo, Irish famine etc.. under capitalist societies.

yes its a perfectly good translation. the intro by mandel is really good as well. hes worth checking out if you are interested in marxist economics. late stage capitalism is his best stuff
