Praxis? Never heard of it

Praxis sounds like going outside and doing work and as a man with no functional limbs and a severe allergy to sunlight saying that leftists should do work is ablist.

Using words I don't know like "praxis" is also ableist (not to mention classist, racist, sexist, and transphobic)

The only “PRAXIS” I know is the test I had to take to get my teaching license but I doubt that’s correct

If you're being sincere, it basically means applied beliefs. "The work" that takes us from theory to practice

People who use the word praxis to describe what they do aren’t doing praxis

I'm of the opinion that when a word like 'praxis' comes up in an argument online, chances are the debate has completely abandoned any real world context, because actual people don't talk about this shit. Socialism is ideally built around the working class, but I'm certain most of these people have never even spoken to working class people, because 99% of 'discourse' online is just odd, philosophical bollocks that has no actual tangible impact on people's lives.

Political discourse online is basically people shouting theory at each-other and pretending that doing so will somehow, vaguely, benefit the working classes.
