It's good that you want to read theory! Let me know if you have any questions.
As for strategy, the practical extension of trying to carefully prune bills while under a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie does not have much practical success in the real world, historically. I expect you'll learn more about why revolution is necessary once you start diving into theory, though.
The thing with new and innovative bills is that they must be informed by existing conditions. In China, they describe this process as "crossing the river by feeling for the stones," you can only be sure of your position and must be flexible in where you move by seeing what sticks.
I don't want to prune them I want to write them :)
Reread that sentence, I said not a revolutionary yet. I still see a route for peaceful means, we'll get to box four (I can link that reference if you're curious "boxes of liberty")
Still, you get the idea. Writing good bills while under a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie will not get much, if any, change.
