    Yea, putting Combat Liberalism at the front implies a call to action before reading theory, aka it sets up the reader to go online and debate endlessly without knowing theory. It's silly, and is totally not exactly what I used to do before taking theory seriously hahahah of course not hahhaha kobeni-sweat

    Truly all the theory teaching I do on my Lemmy.ml account is punishment for years of thinking I knew what Marxism was after reading the Manifesto and Socialism: Utopian and Scientific alone...

    Same with Oppose Book Worship, like, at the beginning of a reading list and not at the end, a text focusing on touching grass and really working can be a double-edged sword. The central idea is to do both, read and practice, but with 2 summaries of summaries of the basics under your belt you aren't at risk of only reading yet, right? Just confusing.

      I don't know that sounds perfectly in line with the ideology of the online left blob-no-thoughts

                That's right! Aren't you the one who posted the legendary "I'm literally an anarcho-tankie" post on the subreddit way back when?

                  I don't think so, my claim to fame on the old sub was a proposal so cringe I got roasted non-stop for a week straight. It was so bad i wish i was the poster that coined the "I'm literally an anarcho-tankie!"

                  I won't declare what kind of content I made that got me roasted because I'm burying that past name in an unmarked grave.

        Truly the twelfth type of Liberalism, debating online without reading... So much wasted time... sadness
