How can reading be a prerequisite to a revolution for people that will literally never read? I don’t think it is because I actually a revolution, do you?
The point is that “I don’t like reading” isn’t much a barrier considering people who couldn’t read managed to learn the theory.
My point is that not being convinced that it is necessary for survival is vastly more of a hindrance than anything else we’re discussing. People only have so many free hours to allocate outside of what’s necessary to survive, they are not going to put a lot into something unless they’ve been convinced it will pay dividends. There is nothing wrong with lamenting that people don’t invest time into it, but doing that with open condescension rather than with empathy for the value of their time is also a harmful choice.

I’m talking about leftists here, not random people. I wouldn’t expect any random American to even know what theory is, much less read it. However, leftists refusing to read are a completely different case. They know better.
I’m saying this on a forum for leftists, to other leftists. Leftists usually get told to read theory because they’re wrong about something, and the theory can correct that. I wouldn’t say this to random people at a community event, obviously.
