  • I’m in the complete opposite camp. I don’t think there’s much one needs to understand in order to become a revolutionary. Shall we all own the means of production or shall we let some idiot king or a handful of asshole capitalists own them? Any illiterate barefoot peasant can think about this and then agree to join the struggle to make it happen and can make great contributions to the cause. You don’t need to know everything, you need to think correctly and be able to solve the practical problems of the day through correct thinking. Mao’s “On Contradiction” and “On Practice” are very simple and can get any reasonable person to think correctly within a few days. I studied philosophy and was given the western canon to chew for several years. It’s trash. Reading Marx and Engels I constantly feel like they’re trying to correct the fucked up way of thinking prevalent in the “western mindset”… but if you’re non-western or an ignorant westerner you’re in luck because you could just… ignore all that trash.
