I have said this many times: internet memes only helped with radicalizing people, but offered none of the tools needed to help them see where they might overcome the problems.

Therefore you end up with a whole bunch of radicalized people who are increasingly depressed and pessimistic about the world because they literally don’t have the tools to analyze the current state of affairs, let alone come up with solutions.

Only reading theory can solve that. Read your Marx, Lenin, Gramsci and Mao. That’s the only way forward.

theory without praxis just gets you the disco elysium quote

0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself sad. He is starting to suspect ~~Kras Mazov~~ Karl Marx fucked him over personally with his socio-economic theory.

Praxis is practice guided by theory. It requires that you at least grasp some theory before putting them into actions.
