I'm not necessarily sure that Malcolm Little would have been a Tea Party member but he did support the Second Amendment. And his hateful strain of Islam did moderate a tad when he made the trip to Mecca. The movie did take some liberties and wasn't 100% harmonious with Alex Haley's book. One such liberty in the film that made me chuckle is when the FBI was wiretapping Little's phone and an agent remarked, "...this guy's a saint compared to [Martin Luther] King."
As for Das Kapital, I did read the English translation and it was tedious, slow-going but I made it through Marx's plodding, laborious text. I recall that around that same time (decades ago), shortly after finishing Marx's tome, I picked up The Magic Mountain by Thomas Mann, another voluminous work of 700+ pages. After getting beaten down by Marx's prose, Mann's classic seemed almost like a magazine article in comparison. Or as I now put it, Marx...you're no Mann! :)
As for Mann, watch out for ‘Death in Venice’ which you’d probably hate...a decrepit old homosexual painter lusts after a teenage Adonis. BTW I’ll reiterate what I said earlier...Nabokov was no smut peddler. Lolita is not pornographic and doesn’t glorify pedophilia any more than Macbeth glorifies regicide.
