The solution is probably finding the correct introductory texts. 'Wage Labour and Capital' should be a good read as it's aimed at the layman, so it explains all the terms used.
Personally I make heavy use of this superb dictionary app when reading old texts https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=livio.pack.lang.en_US
Theres also this encyclopaedia for Marxist terms https://www.marxists.org/glossary/index.htm

Hey overall the app is nice, few things that I feel can be added
- Dark/Amoled Black/Sepia Mode
- When we down swipe for keyboard, it shows the refresh animation on top - I feel it can be removed to make it look cleaner
- A word of the day feature would be cool
Will test it more and report back. Overall I like the UI and the usability.
Before this I have been using this app for its offline dictionary: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=livio.pack.lang.en_US
It's also pretty good just the UI is outdated and not material or in better way not as polished as yours.
