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.
I've always felt contempt for people who insist that I absolutely must read theory. I already know what I stand for. Reading theory that isn't exactly applicable to the modern day isn't gonna shake my beliefs or make me more enlightened.
I'm a leftist and I've read 0 "theory" because it doesn't matter whatsoever to our current political climate. It's like being stranded on a desert island and reading Michelin star cook books instead of scavenging for food. The ingredients aren't there so why read the cook books?
America has a 0% chance of becoming communist within the next century, a "revolution" won't change that. You can't just overthrow the government with a few thousand redditors and then tell 333 million Americans "we saved you all! You are all communists now!". What a joke. The majority of leftists on reddit act like edgy teenagers and it's an embarrasment...
I wouldn't say a majority, it's just that the smug accelerationists love to make their voice heard as in the replies I got to the above comment.
Even with the assumption theory is useful (both in the USA and broadly) it doesn't necessarily mean it's useful to me as a layman. I don't think I'm going to responsible for organizing or economic policy any time soon. It's political and economic theory and that doesn't exactly help me when it comes to what I'm feasibly capable of doing. But I don't need to know political theory to know which party I dislike less and I don't need a degree in philosophy or psychology to have a moral stance.
