No? What I want is clear: the establishment of socialism, and an end to imperialism and settler-colonialism in Turtle Island. I know any socialist transition will be flawed and imperfect, but those are my 3 requirements, because they are the bare minimum needed to end the constant war, genocide, pilfering of the global south, and threat of climate change.
I don’t think I’m smarter than my fellow workers. I do know that I’ve read more Marxist theory, but the vast majority of theory that I’ve read has come after I entered the work force. It doesn’t take intelligence to study theory, it takes time and effort, which is something the working class is always short on. That’s why it’s the duty of those who either have the time or the dedication to study to try to bring up the rest of the working class who may not share the same time or dedication.
Reforms within capitalism cannot bring about socialism, nor can they end imperialism, nor can they end settler-colonialism. The capitalist state of the US is just that, a capitalist state, not a neutral state to be used by just anyone. The state is a product of the economic base of society, which is why revolutionary change is a base requirement to bring genuine change to the superstructure of society.
You’re fully capable of comprehending this, at a certain point it’s a deliberate choice to not hear out the Marxists on your part. You’re not stupid at all, nor do you need to read a bunch of theory to understand the basics.
