I'm cooking so if those don't I'll figure it out after dinner
Webster's dictionary defines "magnum opus" as the greatest "achievement" of an artist. I was thinking that writing the arguably best and most definitely most famous pamphlet in history would be a more important achievement than writing the explanation behind it. I do understand where you are coming from, though.
>What Marx is making a case for there is why "worker coop-based enterprises" do not constitute "non-capitalist production relationships", contrary to what Wolff says.
I agree that co-ops are still capitalistic in nature. I don't think Wolff has ever said that they aren't. His entire spiel is about how co-ops are better for the labor participants because it brings democracy to the work place. I've never heard him say that further economic changes weren't necessary.

>How is making capitalism more robust a required step towards its elimination? Or do you think with those actions, the Chinese state is actually actively undermining the economic basis of its power?
Well, I guess it depends on how you define "more robust". On a different post there was discussion about why Soviet Russia failed and ended up with an established bureaucracy that could not be dislodged. One of the reasons was because the proletariat was too starved after defeating the counter-revolution.
It could be argued, the Chinese are using capitalism as a tool to continue to migrate their nation to achieve a more socialist state.
This kind of works in conjunction with the thesis of John Horgan's book: The End of War. Now I'll go out on a limb here and say that I see most of China's military build up as a response to US aggression. Just as I view Russia realizing after the 2007 Munich Security Conference that the US was never going to treat Russia with Respect so the political leadership there began a buildup of their military capabilities.
Or one can take the perspective that the Chinese, Russian and US leadership is all corrupt. I choose to fault the US more after the last 3 decades of the fraud and corruption of US Political and Economic leadership.
I also have this problem! I have some eye problems, and have trouble reading on a screen. What I did is I found an old Kindle, and used this to translate pdf's to a kindle format. That's how I am currently reading the 18th Brumaire and Capital Vol. 2. I'm not sure if that is possible for you, but hopefully it helps.
understanding Marx’s capital is good, some friends are currently reading it and give very positive feedback!
