they teach it in person, then in practice in good organizations. you can also find it in audiobook, video, lecture form... probably many more mediums, in every language for free. i get great explanations and resources when i ask here.

leftists go out of their way to make theory very accessible, you just have to want to know. are you not even curious about how we have achieved and built the stuff we did?

If someone can't bother to read a single Parenti book, or even just listen to their comrades, I believe the main issue is a lack of motivation and commitment, not accessibility. No one expects you to read das Kapital before getting involved.

Some people aren't readers for reasons other than lack of commitment. This isn't welcoming.

That's why I said:

or even just listen to their comrades

But those of us who can read should so we can be as effective as possible.
