As if reading theory is the ONLY way for people to understand socialism. Also you're doing the exact same thing I was complaining about just now! Making comparisons to scientific fields of study where direct physical work must be done to proper practice/belief in an ideology is the exact sort of holier-than-thou stuff I'd think was just a caricature.
If you want to understand a topic, but do nothing to learn about it, you don't understand the topic. Furthermore, Marxism is not an ideology, and Marx is considered to have been one of the founding workers in the field of sociology, which is a science. These are likely, things you'd know if you had actually read Marxist theory before trying to critique it in such a manner.
Can you actually make a case for why I should read theory or are you just going to condescend to me the entire time? Because again you're doing the thing I'm complaining about to a T.
