Start simple by a***yzing capitalism. You cannot understand alternatives to capitalism before you understand capitalism first. Marxism is just an a***ysis of capitalism at its core. Any political suggestions derived from Marxism build upon this a***ysis.
By understanding Marx, you will have a basic framework to a***yze society, economics and philosophy with. Marx is more a toolbox than a step-by-step tutorial.
The idea behind Marxism is that there are flaws inherent to the capitalist mode of production that can never be eliminated with reforms, and contradictions that can never be resolved, in fact intensifying over time. The more these contradictions increase, the less useful capitalism will be. The same way capitalism was an improvement over feudalism, one day a new system will arrive that improves upon capitalism once it is past its peak.

South America is super interesting to look at in terms of, revolution and socialist Governments.
I see capitalism as like a cake
U start baking it and it slowly gets better and better until it is ideal but then as time goes on its burns and gets ruined
Communism is like you have a really nice plan for the cake and the icing is lovely etc but the eggs you used were gone off
