Read about the Bolshevik revolution and World War I.
Those are much more relevant for our times.

200 Years Together by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, top notch.
Another one I liked about the revolution itself was The Bolsheviks Come to Power by Alexander Rabinowitch.
Getting through all three volumes of Das Kapital is a monumental feat. If you just want to understand where Marx was coming from though, his earlier works are much more accessible, like On The Jewish Question:

and The German Ideology:

@Zeb I just got capital by Marx a few weeks ago. It's on my list. Any about the Bolsheviks you'd recommend?
