I'm planning on starting a Marxist book club at my university, but I'm kind of dumb and have trouble understanding stuff, is there some trick I can use to understand more?

this seems true if others are looking to op for the answers. there's still value in encouraging people to read marx even if people are a little bit wrong. correct understanding will come later. It takes time. i did my first book club with an established marxist and their 'correct' explanations often went over my head. I think the key thing is setting everyone's expectations.

if it's a party and the person in charge of educating the recruits doesn't know their stuff, that might be different
