Among Marx's best-known texts are the "The Communist Manifesto" and the three-volume "Das Kapital", in which he set out to define and explain the behavior of the capitalist mode of production.

Marx's political and philosophical thought have had enormous influence on subsequent intellectual, economic and political history, and his name has been used as an adjective, a noun, and a school of social theory.

Marx's critical theories about society, economics and politics - collectively understood as Marxism - hold that human societies develop through class conflict. In capitalism, this manifests itself in the conflict between the ruling classes (known as the bourgeoisie) that control the means of production, and the working classes (known as the proletariat) that enable these means by selling their labor power in return for wages.

Employing a critical approach known as historical materialism, Marx concluded that, like previous socio-economic systems, capitalism produced internal tensions which would lead to its self-destruction and replacement by a new system known as socialism.

I have a little old baby truck for supposedly making my life easier with projects, but I went like 7 months without starting it and driving it around (a long story), so the less than 1 year old battery died. like full drain. I spent the entire morning looking up the various hardware I can buy/use to remedy this specific situation (multi stage charger, 10A) as well as prevent it in the future (2-3A maintainer).

my current place doesn't have a garage or a car port or even a goddamn outlet on the porch, so I guess I'm charging this thing inside the house now that I've pulled the battery out. if I keep the windows open, that's well ventilated right?

this is so America car brained, but one day I just want to have a really simple shed that has like 3 bays worth of space, all my tools neatly organized, power outlets, wifi, a little dumpy computer I can easily watch videos on, and all the bullshit so I can just mostly fix my own dumbass problems without turning my living space into a chaos dungeon.
