Even if we gained better working conditions for workers which allowed for more time to read, and somehow got public school quality to not be so shit, different people learn by different methods, and there are also some people who might not be so able bodied as to be able to read.

There needs to be multiple mediums through which theory can be learned, for those who learn best by watching, for those who learn best by listening, tactile learners, etc simply handing them a copy of Capital and saying “have at it” isn’t the best approach. Not to mention for those with disabilities like blindness or dyslexia…

I am not saying we shouldn’t have or use books, but books cannot be our only education resource. As of now, having the time and creative freedom necessary to sit down and analyze a book like Capital is a luxury, and until we find a way to get working hours reduced and reduce the physical and mental demands of work on workers so they aren’t so exhausted by the end of the day that all they want to do is sleep, we need to increase the accessibility of Marxism. That means making videos and podcasts and engaging in communty outreach and providing hands on opportunities through direct action and various solidarity networks, hell even if we need to gamify concepts of Marxism so more people can learn then I’m down.

We need to attack this fucker called Capitalism from every angle available to us. We need to use the modern tools at our disposal.
