I dont like the word theory. I feel like it turns people off to it. I think a better word is strategy. We might all agree on the whole capitalism must go thing, but ask most people wtf are we gonna do about it and theyll shrug. Lenin literally wrote a book called What is to be done. Theory is more about being able to recognize the cracks in capitalism and learn how to exploit those cracks. When its put into practice anyway. A lot of people are honestly just politics nerds who study it without ever putting it into practice. Which is... Fine i guess. But dont think you have to be like that to read it. Its not a college class. Just think of it as Lenin, the guy who founded the USSR, talking to you directly and being like "so this is what im thinking". Its very valuable insight. Not all of it still applies in 2025 obviously, but most does.

Like your meme says Marx explains why it happens. Lenin tells you what to do about it.
