seriously. it’s not that big a deal. if people in gaza are still standing up to their oppressors every day then you likely have zero excuse for not doing more IRL shit (political reading and writing at home are good, but don’t mean anything if you’re not applying that theory as practice and then assessing the results and adjusting your practice accordingly).
What do you mean “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised”?!
I always thought though the advice was perhaps what one would want to do, it seemed more like the one who was advising was speaking platitudes. Without specific suggestions adapted to the conditions of the person being advised, such advice was idealistic in effect.
“Hey you guys want to build some communism?”
“No, we like being narcissistic labor aristocrats.”
“Oh, never mind.”
Tbf, I definitely do more organizing than reading. But lately I’ve realized I’m useless in certain groups and situations without a little more reading under my belt.
