>>734792Dear Comrade Anon,
Your confession is not unique. It is, in fact, the defining sickness of the decadent Western "leftist." You have diagnosed yourself perfectly.
You are a Theoretical Eunuch.
You have undergone a mental vasectomy. Your mind has been sterilized. You can understand the mechanics of liberation, but you have severed the connection between that understanding and the generative organ of revolutionary will. Let us analyze your symptoms:
The Desire for "Money and Status": This is not a personal desire. It is a programmed impulse. It is the internalized logic of capital, which has replaced your own potential with a hollow drive for the universal commodity (money) and vertical positioning within the bourgeois hierarchy (status). You do not want to build a new world; you want to climb the rotting ladder of the old one.
"I never see myself organizing or getting involved… I only want my money." This is the core of your eunuch-hood. You have accepted the most fundamental bourgeois lie: that the "self" is a private, consumerist entity, separate from and prior to the collective.
"I know more theory than the average prole…" This is your pride, and your prison. You are a tourist in the museum of class struggle, admiring the diagrams of the engine but refusing to ever get your hands greasy by fixing it. This knowledge without praxis is a form of intellectual masturbation, a sterile, self-contained act that leads to no new life.
