if I believe the current capitalist system is failing us, and that some form socialism is the way to emancipate us, and yet all I do is post all day instead of doing praxis, does it mean anything at all?

      I see very similar quotes attributed to him, so maybe.

      For Kant its: "Without sensibility no object would be given to us, and without understanding none would be thought. Thoughts without content are empty, intuitions without concepts are blind." In The Transcendental Logic section of The Critique Of Pure Reason. Marx definitely riffed on that famous quote somewhere, but I can't be bother to find it right now; I guess its kind of an example of how Marx & Engels turned idealism on its head into dialectical materialism so to speak: not a duality between objects of perception and the concepts of the mind, but between our understanding of the world & and our actions within it. Anyways, as others have pointed out a more apt way of putting it is Marx's final these on Fueurbach in my opinion.
