    Yeah… I’m using the word very intentionally

    Praxis is academic. It scares people. We must hide the fact our arguments are driven by ideology and focus on the material conditions and how they can be immediately improved

      That’s just a specific kind of praxis though. Praxis is about doing things to change the current state of things. It doesn’t proscribe only teaching theory. You can be doing praxis without saying anything academic.

        It’s perception. Like I said, hide the praxis. It must not be perceivable

        Hell, discard it even. It’s more important to focus on immediate material issues than loudly dream about a better world

        Praxis is not useful in this day and age, it’s a liability. If it’s your driving force, learn to pretend it’s not

          You are fantastically obtuse in your perception of a word that means doing direct action to create material change.
