To add to that, reading theory gives you a responsibility in the sense that you now have the power and duty to explain and educate your comrades. To quote Sankara

“As revolutionaries, we don’t have the right to say we are tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We know that when the people understand, they cannot help but follow us."

And teaching is learning, and learning is teaching, in the sense that the pupil will force you to go past your blind spots, to consider new aspects of things, etc, so win win.
