Marx in the classroom

Economics Political Theory
1

We are reading Marx in one of my classes: Marx’s critique of Hagel’s Philosophy of Right, alienated labor from Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844, and Theses on Feuerbach.

Any comments or anything I should know about Marx? I just want to pick up the main arguments from these works, the libertarian standpoint, and how to tear apart Marx’s main views. I haven’t read Marx for a long long time, and just wanted to hear what you guys thought. I think we’re going to read the manifesto too.
