Exactly, books provide you with a foundation of knowledge, but they're not instruction guides. The knowledge has to then be applied to solving problems within the current circumstances one finds themselves in. Furthermore, our understanding evolves over time. The whole idea of dialectics is that it's a dynamic, living process. People who insist on some absolute truths lack fundamental understanding of what Marxism is.
The Ultras that spend thousands of hours studying every paragraph of the economic aspects of Marxism but ignore or misunderstand Dialectical Materialism are the most guilty of this dogmatism and rigid mechanical thinking, in my experience.
Exactly, it's intellectual laziness where they just want a paint by numbers set of instructions instead of actually having to think for themselves.
Essentially, they fail to apply Marxist theory to Marxism :D
they're just LARPers :)
One of the reasons, for sure
