      Not when someone is still learning about what capitalism is and how it works, how it relates to class society as a whole, what its contradictions, roots actually are and so on. One has to first learn about what they’re fighting against before delving into deeper things like tactics or exactly how society would be transformed, otherwise you’re just going to be making the same mistakes as utopian socialists of 19th century, or online socialists who haven’t read anything and just going by vibes.

      Marxism is as much revolutionary as it is explanatory, without all the ideology and ‘oughts’.
