Marx's "chapter" on capital -- only a subset of his critique of political economy -- was left incomplete. Marx's overall critique of political economy was a means to an end, not the alpha and omega of his life plan. Because, "above all else," as Engels noted at Marx's grave, the man was a revolutionary. The social conditions that offended Marx's conscience and prompted him to fight and learn are still largely with us -- except that compounded many times over. Grasping them goes along with abolishing them.

You, on the other hand, can go and fuck yourself.
