I think there’s a decent proposition you could offer to people, who either don’t want to study theory or do that much praxis (which is a bit misleading because they’re both praxis) and that is to build a strong party structure.
100 people going into their own adventures and randomly forming parties, with similar ambitions, is good. It’s additive forces.
A highly organized group of 10 cadres functioning in lockstep is excellent. It’s multiplicative forces.
Not only that, but each of the cadres can take command of the semi-organized adventurers. But the tricky part is I don’t know how to propagate this better, in our current environment. For instance, there’s a decent argument to be made how neo-liberalism erodes ones sense of self, which makes teaching alternative viewpoint really difficult. I hear a lot of talk about the problems of illiteracy, but we also have to remember the masses have been alienated more than ever. Of course it depends on the country, all of them are different, but in the “West” in the core countries of Empire the masses are very alienated and illiterate. At least from my experience, but it could be wrong too.
Maybe the material conditions simply make it impossible to bring the theory with praxis together, for now. It’s hard to imagine there to not be at least one decent group who knows how to do this, but they probably lack the means, would be my guess. Hopefully in the future that gets resolved.

Would be a fun experiment!
