Education is still important, because people’s openness to new ideas depends on their current material conditions. As conditions decay, radicalization increases, and so does people’s willingness to get organized and read theory.
It’s more that leftists have been discussing and bringing about better societies for centuries, agitating and organizing, so if we want to take things seriously we need to learn from what works and what doesn’t. That’s why I made an introduductory Marxist-Leninist reading guide. It’s to help people new to theory.
‘You’ can, you just have to be a big brain erudite to come to conclusions that took several intellectual giants’ work throughout centuries. The kind of mind that comes once every thousand years a la Solomon.
Respectfully, you just cannot conceive it because of Dunning-Kruger and because you’ve never been in a position in which you had to ‘create a working ideology for society from scratch’. A part of me also thinks that “saying you need recipes to cook complex meals is big gatekeeping energy”, then I fuck everything up and remember I’m both ignorant and naturally incompetent when it comes to cooking. No, we WANT to believe it’s different, but it’s not, and a wise person understands their limitations.
