Funny enough, reducing Communists to rigid thinking devoid of nuance is actually anti-Marxist. Nuance and looking at issues dialectically is core to Communist thought, it's non-Marxists that paint Marxism as dogmatic and inflexible.

Yeah, it's such a tired trope that it's almost become a meme.

"Read theory" is already such an all-encompassing meme though, and covers that pretty well. Truly, if every liberal read like 3 or 4 pamphlets on Marxism we'd probably be at Socialism by now, well on our way to Communism.

For real, it doesn't take much reading to dispell many of the myths and I frankly think most people wouldn't be content to stop there. Once you begin reading, you hunger for more.
