It’s really disappointing seeing someone getting upbears for saying that if you don’t read theory, you’re a counterrevolutionary liberal.

I can’t even get out of bed in the morning for like 3 hours, let alone make time in my day to read after the pile of stuff I have backed up that I need to do.

Am I the only one that feels this way?

    Eh not so sure.

    On the internet you're usually reading short essays or post comments that you can go through in 10 minutes at most.

    On the other hand in books authors tend to take their sweet fucking time with getting to the actual point, I can totally see this being too much for a person with ADHD.

        I disagree with the takes here, you can absorb plenty of theory just by watching Marxists talk and participating in slop and YouTube. Maybe not to the highest resolution and depth but even participating in the discussions and listening to the reading groups on local orgs gets the big picture stuff through.
