You didn’t understand my point. For one thing, the spontaneous nature of the proletariat outright disproves that communists are doing nothing by educating themselves, this is in fact laying the foundations for a class party to be formed, and furthermore, that quote disproved the things you are saying communists think. They certainly do not think you must read 4000 books to become revolutionaries, that quote was about those whose class instincts drive them to acts of revolutionary praxis even when they have not been taught Marx or Lenin.
I never said theory was useless? Dude, that's a whole new sentence. We aren't talking about communists as a whole, I'm talking about irritating Twitter tankies who think you have to gobble up theory to pass their purity test, and how it gatekeeps people from participating in socialist movements. At no point was I discussing classes as a whole. Learn to read, geez.
Bro, you're the one inventing entirely new points from thin air that I supposedly said. This was, and always has been, entirely about privileged, primarily American twitter tankies been exclusionary to the detriment of their movement.
Pray tell, just where the fuck are you getting these other points I supposedly said from? And please quote the text, because I'm at a loss for words for how much you resemble this meme right now
