So, I'm currently reading On Contradiction, just got done with Chapter 3

And I came across this banger "The dogmatists do not observe this principle; they do not understand that conditions differ in different kinds of revolution and so do not understand that different methods should be used to resolve different contradictions; on the contrary, they invariably adopt what they imagine to be an unalterable formula and arbitrarily apply it everywhere, which only causes setbacks to the revolution or makes a sorry mess of what was originally well done."

Mao Zedong in On Contradiction, Ch. 3, par. 8

Mao Zedong would have completely been against modern-day MLMs and saying stuff like "China is capitalist because they don't do XYZ"

the number one thing you learn by doing the reading is that hardly anyone does the reading

Honestly one of the most glaringly obvious points I've noticed after I started reading, it really seems like most people coast by on Wikipedia alone.
