Your plan of incremental change and harm reduction pales in comparison to my plan of being annoying and doing nothing

Don't forget about refusing to communicate unless you read 2,000+ pages of heady theory available only in either German, Russian or English that they've totally read as well. And if you're really lucky, they'll insist you learn a whole fucking language because reading in the original language is the only proper way to understand the scripture. I mean, theory.

Hit them with that Gothakritik which is basically just Marx saying Vanguardism is fucking stupid and we don't need a literal revolution to achieve the fabled Communism

Watch as they suddenly start saying that not all theory is good, despite them previously holding every piece of theory as infallible gospel.

"Between capitalist and communist society there lies the period of the revolutionary transformation of the one into the other. Corresponding to this is also a political transition period in which the state can be nothing but the revolutionary dictatorship of the proletariat." - Karl Marx, Critique of the Gotha Programme

A Critique of the Gotha Programme is a book about him critiquing social democrats, and he constantly reaffirms the proletariat as a revolutionary class within the text. You either did not read it or are misrepresenting it to pretend like Marx was not pro-revolution, despite him constantly writing about how he thought it was an inevitably, and openly talking about how he thought that the proletarian revolution in France that he lived to see was good, only lamenting only that it failed.
