What is Praxis?

The psychosomatic consequences of attempting to carry out the virtual duties of all your comrades simultaneously. Generally presents as a late-afternoon fugue state, following the exhaustion of adrenal and caloric reserves, accompanied by a sense of futility, marked tightness in the neck and shoulders, and a headache akin to having one's brainstem in a microwave.

Praxis

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

In contemporary usage: β€œI'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.

Praxis

Putting theory, ideas, or concepts, into actions or any real or physical thing such as an object, economic structure, organization, etc.

Mostly used by the true political left as an alternative to the word based when they want to denote sincerity in their agreement or approval (based is meta-ironic), or when they want to applaud someone for their actions that support their ideals and theory. Synonymous with saying "unironically based".

It was coined by the greek philosopher Artistotle and popularized by Karl Marx and marxism, which is why it is popular on the true political left.

Example 1: Putting theory into practice
Leftist 1: I volunteer at a homeless shelter and went door to door for Bernie in the primaries.
