i know this is mostly just memeing on the 'go outside' post, but the ideology evidenced in this post leads to the movement lacking any funding or professionally developed skills (i.e. a lack of class traitors), it lets comfortable leftists 'off the hook' for organizing, education, or other revolutionary work or training, because they aren't the 'right' socio-economic class to be a 'real' communist. we need class traitors, and we need books to spread the insights that those class traitors can learn from the experiences of the working class. we need books for the members of the proletariat who are insulated from the worst of our society. books are good, spreading well-assembled useful information is a good thing.
