I do not understand why people say the first 3 chapters of Capital are the hardest, sure they're some of the more difficult ones, but really it's fairly plain to understand.

BUT DEAR FUCKING GOD CHAPTER 15.

You've got to keep in mind so many goddamned things, the total amount of commodities that can be produced, the value embodied in them, the value embodied in an individual commodity produced, the proportion of C to V, again, per commodity and considered as a group.

Fuck you machines, I'm a primmie now.

Take into account that most people that try to read Capital don't get past the first three chapters. ;)

I found it eminently understandable, if a little long winded.
