Praxis

From Ancient Greek πρᾶξις (praksis): action, activity, practice.

In contemporary usage: “I'm going to tell you how to do your shit, and you should listen, because I have a degree in cultural studies.”

A truly liberatory praxis must never fail to neglect the counter revolutionary tendencies of the running dogs of the imperialist petty bourgeoisie, but rather contribute towards the construction of a radically public discourse of revolution.
