"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

A lot of people don't, it's not unique to marxism of course but you'll also see the type of person who quote-mines a lot (posting quote after quote after quote), just unable to make their own analysis/synthesis outside of what marx et al. precisely said.
marxism is a living science and must be properly placed back in its social component. People endlessly arguing over the minute meaning of a single word that might have been mistranslated and takes away from Marx's 'intent' are just splitting hairs imo, practice will look different to the theory regardless in any social situation. Even early Christians synthesized aspects of 'pagan' beliefs/rituals to make conversion easier, and they're the dogmatic ones! But that's Western Marxism^TM^ I guess.
