I vote dislike on this one.

The three volumes of Capital are, what, over 2000 pages? Boiling all that, not to mention the rest of what Marx wrote, down to "The Marxist metaphysics of class conflict and means of production controlling everything" is only a little less frivolous than, say, likening Foucault to a Clive Barker movie.

It's an ahistorical Classics Illustrated version of Marx.
