The conversations around whether or not people should read theory are so played out to me. Yes....oppressed groups have an intuitive understanding of their oppression & invaluable lived experiences. (1/5)
Reading theory helps you deepen ur understanding & connect ur struggle with the struggles of the collective. There’s a reason why education is expensive. It’s ~hard to oppress the informed. & while reading theory can be time consuming & difficult it is also very rewarding. (2/5)
Theory also helps remind us of our revolutionary history. It helps us see that the weapons used against us today have been used for centuries & people have fought back & won. (3/5)
I know we’re all tired. I know we don’t always have time. But spending 30 mins a day with an audiobook, paper book, PDF, YouTube video, etc is super helpful. & starting a book club or even just having conversations with your friends along the way will help. (4/5)
So yea that’s what I have to say about that!!! If you need some book recs DM me I’ll get back to you ~tomorrow most likely. (5/5)
Here's a youtube playlist I'm starting of videos that explain theory & stuff!! There's only ~one video right now but i'm gonna start adding to it today!!! https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLu0jdbNY2br7Crp589NlQwBS8-4zqg5pJ
(& incase anyone was wondering there will be no c*ntap*ints or v*ush on the playlist & i'll continue to look out for any shitty behavior from folks i'm adding and remove them if necessary)
