If you cannot change the world, then being correct means nothing. Being correct is immaterial; it exists only in your headspace.
I wanted to address this specifically. Being correct is step zero in changing anything. You can’t change the world effectively without interpreting it first. Marx interpreted the world constantly. The point isn’t that there’s no value in understanding the world, it’s that understanding the world should be a basis for changing it.
GOOD comment. Marx wasn’t saying “those ignorant philosophers wasted time analyzing.” He was saying that they wasted their analysis by not following it with change (or, more likely, by not having change be the goal of the entire process of analysis)
