except not reading or understanding theory leads you to putting bad things into practice. What do you think happens when a bunch of "revolutionaries" who dont know what the value form is or anything relating to the content in all three volumes of Capital want to abolish capitalism?

So yes, people need to read theory and they need to understand it as well.

and practice with incorrect interpretations gives you shit like the Shining Path
What was wrong with them? I skimmed the wiki page and it just looks like a Mao-inspired guerrilla group that got bopped by the Peruvian government

Do you have a good source about this? I’d like to learn more about it.
Edit: I just watched the bad empanada video. Wow, that group was absolutely fucked. Bad theory indeed
