The average non-marxist has probably only read Marx and Engels’ introductory works and maybe a little bit of Lenin.

In what country? In the USA, a lot of people don’t read books unless it’s required for school or work. If they do read for pleasure, it’s often young adult, bs ‘self help’ (ie Rich Dad, Poor Dad), or shallow non fiction that reinforces what they already believe.
The average non-Marxist has heard of the Communist Manifesto and thinks that is the extent of the philosophical canon. The average Liberal has not even read any Liberal philosophy, like Locke, Montesquieu, Rousseau, Paine, etc.
The average non-marxist doesn’t know that “Capital” and “The Communist Manifesto” are different things, much less that the latter is a pamphlet and not a book.
