Read theory, it's literally online for free. Join a reading group. You spend hours doom scrolling on Twitter to no end. All that's gotten you is deep knowledge of every twitter beef between 400 follower nazbols.

Edit: It’s not an issue with the site but online discourse about the left in general. Why are y'all upset about shoeonhead or black hammer or whatever new group of dumbasses is saying some new dumb shit. I'm talking about how every few days lots of leftists are surprised and upset that their fav twitter personality said something really stupid.

    I'd highly recommend Lars Lih's Lenin Rediscovered: What Is To Be Done In Context, it's a new translation of WITBD, and goes into a lot of detail on the unique context and meaning of the work that cuts through both the liberal and Marxist-Leninist twistings of the work.
