"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

Well, if they care not for a revolutionary program beyond just militant overthrow of the old state and its apparatus of power, what use are they in the long struggle forward? We've seen the spanner-in-the-works that the Socialist Revolutionaries caused during the Bolshevist state in Russia. They provided nothing but flagrant chaos to the socialist project. They have power only during the militant stage of revolution against the bourgeois order, but beyond that, they have no theoretical and scientific framework (dialectical materialism) to guide and defend a socialist society against the eventual retribution of the old order.
Their hearts are in the right place, I'd say, but their eagerness to learn and adapt to material development within society for the sake of people's liberation? They have much work to do. Not to imply that Marxist-Leninists don't. As part of the struggle, staying sharp, critical, and receptive to valid, well-reasoned scrutiny is paramount. The scientific revolutionary path towards liberation of working people is a far more arduous one than that of the reactionaries and bourgeois democracies.
Well, wake me up when we accomplish the overthrow of the old state and its apparatus of power. This is just Internet slapfighting between a bunch of nerds who think Praxis is a planet in Star Wars, but otherwise agree on 99% of their goals. Dunking on people on X: The Everything platform is not "the long struggle forward".
