Was Marx an alcoholic? I heard, from my good friend Bruce, that a bunch of other philosophers were hard drinkers.

We need to stop with the praxis. It's a playbook written in another era, further warped by decades of midwits and sabotage
And it just scares off the masses. No one is going to read your pamphlet unless they already mostly agree with you, in which case why are you talking to them?

what do you think praxis means here?
Praxis is the process by which a theory, lesson, or skill is enacted, embodied, realized, applied, or put into practice. "Praxis" may also refer to the act of engaging, applying, exercising, realizing, or practising ideas. This has been a recurrent topic in the field of philosophy, discussed in the writings of Plato, Aristotle, St. Augustine, Francis Bacon, Immanuel Kant, Søren Kierkegaard, Ludwig von Mises, Karl Marx, Antonio Gramsci, Martin Heidegger, Hannah Arendt, Jean-Paul Sartre, Paulo Freire, Murray Rothbard, and many others. It has meaning in the political, educational, spiritual and medical realms.
Praxis is academic. It scares people. We must hide the fact our arguments are driven by ideology and focus on the material conditions and how they can be immediately improved

That's just a specific kind of praxis though. Praxis is about doing things to change the current state of things. It doesn't proscribe only teaching theory. You can be doing praxis without saying anything academic.

It's perception. Like I said, hide the praxis. It must not be perceivable
Hell, discard it even. It's more important to focus on immediate material issues than loudly dream about a better world
Praxis is not useful in this day and age, it's a liability. If it's your driving force, learn to pretend it's not

You are fantastically obtuse in your perception of a word that means doing direct action to create material change.

And you don't understand what being effective means.

This is just shooting yourself in the foot. It's important to directly engage with the masses, explain why we do what we do, fight for improving material conditions, while educating on liberatory ideology. Ideology is a tool, one that helped Russians, Chinese, Cubans, Vietnamese, Koreans, Laotians, Nicaraguans, Venezuelans, and more defeat impossible odds and move the wheel of history forward. Throwing away the tool, blunting it, hiding it, and instead focusing on generic improvements loosely and decentrally, has never once resulted in successfully replacing capitalism with socialism.

Dialectical materialism is a tool, not a religion. The text is a play on the "Serenity Prayer," it doesn't mean communism is a religion.

doing material analysis and direct action to change the world is just like praying to a higher power, I am very smart
