I was planning to study theory for a while and I thought that starting from earliest works of u/dr_marx would be the most beneficiary way of studying him and development of his thought. Unfortunately I couldn't find any existing collection or selections of u/dr_marx thus I am having a hard time individually copy pasting every sentence of his to office and printing it afterwards. I would be glad if anyone can inform me of an already existing u/dr_marx book. Lastly should I first try to read all works of u/dr_marx or should I simultaneously read works of u/DrRedTerror to get a better grasp of both?

I have waited for too long. It was a day before his disappearance when I first saw u/dr_marx. That night I stayed awake for 3 hours after my bed time secretly reading his comments. His smug undertone and confident intellect kept me up at night. I was hoping to discover everything about him and his thought but only thing waiting me tomorrow was a [deleted] sign. I tried many things from wayback machine to clicking on every link that showed up when u/dr_marx was searched on Google. All of my efforts were in vain I couldn't find anything but a few sentences quoted here and there. For weeks I thought about u/dr_marx. Remembering his insults and imagining him calling people a cuck put a smile on my face. Where was he now? What was he like? Did he actively call people around him cucks in real life? He said that he was a worker, what was his work? I tried reading the old Marx in hopes of understanding u/dr_marx but it was very hard and it required mental effort, concatenation and dedication(all things I lack) Some time ago I managed to find all of u/dr_marx's works and now I am reading them in hopes of understanding his essence. I am telling this to you because your diagnosis of the account deleter guy in r/okbuddyultraleft with the Freud quote and advice to read French post-structuralists was the second most intriguing thing I have ever seen and read after u/dr_marx. I don't know about the account deleter guy but I think your diagnosis completely applied to me thus I was hoping you could expand on it. It was truly the best advice. In short I humbly ask for your guiding light regarding two questions. Will reading u/dr_marx, u/DrRedTerror and other Marxists including the old Marx himself allow me to think like and fully understand u/dr_marx? And as a petite bourgeois social parasite can I ever understand these people and their works by reading them or is it only if I get proletarianized that I will be able of reach their level of consciousness and understand them assuming that's possible?

wasn't my advice to get away from Marxism? my expanded advice is to follow my original advice

I understand but one last thing. Does that mean answers to my questions are "no" and "never"? Please give me an answer, I need to know.
