Indeed. It's ok to just be a communist sympathizer. Not everyone has to or can be a cadre.

The only thing i would say i don't like is when people who haven't put in the work and haven't studied try to act like they understand socialist theory better than those who have. It's fine if reading theory isn't for you, but then at least be humble enough to recognize that and listen to those who have done the reading.

It is important to remain open to learning regardless of the medium that you learn through. Books are just one medium. Your comrades are another.
