I'm working through the manifesto and i'm really struggling with chapter 3s Feudal and Petty-Bourgeois socialism section. It seems he's waxing a bit into prose, or i lack important historical context. Is there something i can read that will provide this? Barring that i would also love any links or recommendations to literature that helped you understand

Oh and if this is stickied somewhere i apologize for dumb

I would recommend reading a lot of other theory before starting Kapital. The USSR also wrote a textbook on Political Economy that was designed for students and may be easier to understand. It also talks about things that aren't in Kapital like imperialism, socialism, and feudal and slave societies.
