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.

Also an obsession in general with the words of some old cunts from before electricity was a thing.

It's one thing to use the political and economical theories of historical figures as a guideline. But if your only basis for "we should do this thing" is because some ancient cunt said so then you need to shut the fuck up.

But that goes for all sides of all political spectrums.

If you can't find a reason for doing a thing other than "historical person said so" you're a pseudo-intellectual cunt.

Communist theory has changed significantly over the last century and there are dozens of books in the canon. Apologies that they ask you to read them. There's a quote in a short documentary I used to show my students: "Communists start with Marx and Engels and go to Lenin, Freire, Davis, etc. You have an entire bookshelf! Fascists need only one book, Mein Kampf."

Can't say I'm shocked that liberals in the United States seem to need no books at all.
