  • I’d say it’s both. It’s not impossible to have a perfect grasp of theory without proletarianization and suffering, and it’s not impossible to have a clear grasp of what needs to be done and why without theory. However, for the vast majority, you must have theory and practice. Theory is a tool that makes practice easier and more effective, it identifies the sources of problems and tells you how to think about solving them. To avoid theory is a mistake, that’s fighting a terrible and great enemy while handcuffed or blindfolded. Not impossible, but unnecessarily difficult.

    If you don’t learn the lessons our predecessors gave us and spent their lives figuring out and testing, do you really care?
