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?
As long as you understand the theory there’s no need to read specific works. There are plenty of other ways to learn and people with ADHD certainly aren’t incapable of learning, you just have to find a way that works for you.
Personally I listen to audiobooks while working out or commuting. You can watch YouTube videos or read small articles on whatever you find interesting. You can learn at your own pace and in your own way (if you want to).
The left loves to tear itself apart with dick measuring contests. Don’t feel bad because some debate lord called you a lib. You have got nothing to prove to anyone.
:heart-sickle:
Listening to an audiobook achieves the same goal. Not everyone can read, hard disagree with that ableist shit.
I have ADHD. I’m a university student who hasn’t read a single book since I was 12. Some people find it hard to, others have jobs and other responsibilities.
Reading poorly translated written text from 100+ years ago, while very helpful, isn’t the only way to learn. I have listened to audiobooks of Marx and State and Revolution, I even uploaded it to mobilism and other piracy sites.
You’re misusing that quote, nowhere did I say writing theory isn’t important for the movement. If anything I’d argue that even Graeber and Chomsky are just as important for modern socialists. The vast majority of people who died fighting for any working class revolution were illiterate.
