Effective Organizing Requires Understanding Theory
There is widespread disunity and a lack of clarity among the masses about who we are fighting, why, and how we can defeat them. There is no common struggle for common goals because we are not clear on who our common enemies are, why they are at war with us, and how they carry out that war. This fractured reality in the U.S. is largely due to the lack of importance placed on understanding revolutionary theory.
Some mistakenly believe that studying theory is a pointless academic exercise that movement leaders use to intimidate or control young organizers.
