Do i need some prerequisite in philosophy before reading Marx?

>sex in media.
Yeah man, like those fucking Jews who inserted sexual references into the Odyssey and the Greek plays, "The Golden Ass", the Metamorphoses, The Argonautica, Works and Days, and basically the entirety of Roman pantomime theater! If it weren't for the Jews, all literary characters would be chaste, sexless Ken dolls!

You're a great country, one of the very best alive today. The way you keep to whiteness, to masculinity, and to destroy nonwhites is admirable. So is your stance on immigration, conservatism, and having traditional gender roles. Deus Vult, Poland, Deus Vult. Every cucked European country should be like you

>let me tell you about your country

Do you say that because there are still corrupt old ex-"socialist" farts still pulling the strings of your country? Because that's exactly what's happening here in Slovenia. We're a democratic republic and so on but there's so much corruption and stinking shit left from the previous regime.

You need to have general knowledge about history of philosophy, history of political thought and history, and also read and understand Hegel.

It depends. You can read Capital and still get what he's saying. But if you don't want to be a stereotypical autistic Marxist who doesn't even understand what he's saying, you should understand Hegel. The downside to that is that Hegel is essentially the the final boss of philosophy, and even people with PHDs have trouble understanding him.

damn dude you're a dumbie.

you really dont get it dont you?

just read hegel, but incorrectly. read it like a fucking retard would

At the very least, be familiar and read Hegel's Lectures on History. Having read Ricardo and Smith will help along with at least being familiar with the Physiocrats. Don't be one of those trendy people that try to insert Marx into discussions on contemporary race and identity politics discussions in the West without understanding how he thought a civilization would need to develop before reaching socialism.

Since you specified that you're reading Marx for his Philosophy, and not is political, or Economic ideas, I'm going to assume you're chiefly, or exclusively interested in Diamat, if you're also interested in Marxian Economics, or Scientific Socialism, then that's a whole 'nother list.

The best absolute-beginners, no prior philosophy needed introduction to the concept of Dialectical-Materialism is "The Elementary Principles of Philosophy" by Politzer. It starts by introducing the fundamental problems of ontology, and explaining why Materialism makes more sense than Idealism, (he doesn't really address Cartesian Dualism, just brushes it off as Idealism with a coat of paint on it, because God, as a sentient entity, inherently qualifies as "idea", or "spirit"), then moves on to explaining Dialectical thinking, before finishing off by giving a rough overview of Historical-Materialism.
It's not perfect, he largely starts off the discussion on Dialectics by refuting the Laws of Identity, Non-Contradiction, and the Excluded Middle, without bothering to explain how Formal logic even works, and devoid of that context, these are largely meaningless notions, so that's a noticeable exclusion. Also, he only combats Descartes' conclusions about how the world works, without bothering to explain Descartes' method, which led him to those conclusions, and which is by far the more important part of his work. He also seriously glosses over Kant, and Hume.
Those serious flaws aside, it really is the best complete Layman's guide to Diamat out there, and while it is missing some stuff, it doesn't oversimplify any of the notions that it does explain, which every other guide to Dialectical-Materialism for beginners I've ever come across does. So, I would recommend it before reading any of this other stuff.

Once you've read that, it's time to brush up on your Logic, Epistemology, and Ontology. For logic, I would just recommend any modern Textbook(s) on the topic. Start by reading up on Classical (Aristotlean) Logic, then research some Non-Classical logics. The most important being Intuitionist Logic, (which rejects the Law of the Excluded Middle), Dialethilism, (which rejects the law of non-contradiction), and Non-Reflexive logic, (rejects the Law of Identity), once you've got a firm grasp of all of this, it's time to start learning about Dialectical Logic, as a non-classical logic. Start by reading these two papers, (requires some knowledge of symbolic-logic):
www0.cs.ucl.ac.uk/staff/R.Hirsch/papers/dialectics/dialectics.pdf
jstor.org/stable/20098681?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents
Then after that, you're ready to face dialectics on its own terms. Start by reading either Adorno's "Introduction to Dialectics", or Stalin's "Dialectical, and Historical Materialism", then it's time to move on to the big man himself, Hegel. Wissenschaft Der Logik, is about as good a starting point as any for this topic.

For Epistomology, and Ontology, start by reading Aristotle's Metaphysics, (feel free to use secondary-sources alongside that one), the move onto Descartes' Meditations, with Objections, and Replies, followed by Leibniz's Monadology, and Hume's "Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding", after that, it's time to start reading Kant. Do so in the following order: Baumgarten's Metaphysics, Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics, Critique of Pure Reason, and then either The Metaphysic of Morals, or the Critique of Practical Reason. Once you've read the two Critiques, and Wissenschaft Der Logik, you're ready for Hegel's Phenomonology of Spirit. Once you've read Phenomonology of Spirit, and Groundwork for the Metaphysic of Morals, you're ready for The Philosophy of Right.

And then you're ready for Marx's ideas.
Contribution to the Critique of Hegel's Philosophy of Right
The German Ideology
Anti-Duhring, Part Three
Dialectics of Nature.

And then you're basically done. Everything else is post-Marx Marxists, arguing over, and adjusting his theories for new discoveries, and ideological developments.

from a philosophical perspective, read locke, kant, novalis, hegel, feuerbach, and then finally read his theses on feuerbach, the manifesto and other earlier writings.

read at least the first half of capital vol 1

then read bernstein and luxemburg to get a feel for where the early schisms in marxism were.

do all this, then you should have a very grounded understanding of marx that can either be built upon or abandoned depending on what interests you.

confirmed never having read marx substantively or within context.

i disagree. ive worked through a fair amount of hegel and while most of it is very difficult, theres at least some semblance of understanding there for me.

i cant say the same for fichte. hes fucking impossible.

what's wrong with sex in the media?

all of that is good and not jewish

lol probably a shithole

You aren't as smart as you think you are

>I just want to know my enemy
While I admire the effort to read things that are opposed to your current worldview, what is the point of doing so if you are going into it with a closed mind? Why not approach Marx on his own terms? To answer your question though, having read some prior political theory would probably help. I have degrees in philosophy and economics and I find him difficult. If you have never read any philosophy at all and don't have a basic understanding of economics you might not get much out of reading him. Maybe there is a good lecture series on youtube or something to help you go along? What do you plan to read (e.g. young Marx, old Marx) because this would change what kind of preparation is necessary.
