Oh my god, you're right. The number of .ml users that "learned their theory from someone else" instead of reading source texts is mind-boggling. To be fair, I don't want to read 150yo texts to inform my own opinions, but moreso because I find them archaic in their reasoning, not because they're dull and pompous (they are).
If you "learned your theory form someone else" you're somebody's goon, not a maxist.
Nearly every human on earth would be in that category. The whole basis of human knowledge is that we take the knowledge of others and build upon it
You build on the knowledge. Not the person.
