You say Marx made interesting points. What were they and why do you find them "interesting"?

I'd like to know too... When I was at SUNY @ Stony Brook, I needed a 300 level economics class, and the only class I could get into was Marxist Economics. Seriously, I really did try to read Das Kapital. I don't think that I got more than 10 pages into it... Most boring thing I tried to read since Sinclair Lewis' Babbit! I never did read it. Or anything by Marx. I kept falling asleep. I did read a lot about what Marx wrote though. I thought his whole take on "Dialectical Materialism" was flawed from the beginning, but maybe I just didn't understand the concepts. So, please, let me know what was "interesting" in Marx's philosophy.

Mark

Mark,

I think we won't get an answer to any of the questions we asked this person about what he/she finds interesting about Marx or why he/she feels empowered to complain about having to pay for college.
