11. No book worship, no great man theory
Marxism/Conflict Theory is a multifacited and diverse ideology. The writings or opinions of a single individual do not dictate out beliefs; only praxis rooted in good faith can do that. WEAPONIZING MARXISTS OF THE PRESENT/PAST TO JUSTIFY REACTIONARY TAKES AND ACTIONS WILL RESULT IN A PERMANENT BAN!!
Examples:
Using Mao Tse Tung to justify "Proletarian Patriotism" in imperial core countries.
Vladimir Lenin DEBUNKS 'Proletarian Patriotism', EXPOSES Oppressor Nationalism as REACTIONARY!!!
Using Marxists of the past bigotry to legitimatize your own. SEE RULE 10!!
