I don't know what this means exactly but I like it anyway.
To me it makes me think of the intellectualization of revolutionary theory to the degree that it's no longer revolutionary, merely a means by which academics can advance their careers. I get that impression with a lot of western Marxian/critical theory from the last few decades tbh (although that doesn't mean the works don't contain interesting ideas).
A quote from Marx that I like:
Yet some academics remain content to idly interpret while benefitting from the spoils of imperialism and colonialism.
Oooorrr it's just a comic by an anti-communist trying to point out a perceived hypocrisy so they don't have to engage with the ideas lmao
