    Mao's "Oppose Book Worship" is a good take in that it encourages people to actually engage with and understand theory rather than just appealing to it as an absolute authority, but I don't know what the fuck this is trying to say.

      I think it's akin to the old Gandhi line about liking Christ but hating the Christians. Although, it carries the ring of "No True Marxist" so heavily that it's basically gibberish.
