Wojtek commits the basic intellectualist error of separating thought and action. Thus he cannot recognize the origin of Thesis 11 in action, seeing it rather as a disinterested comment from the bleachers by an isolated intellectual. Thus he cannot see that KM is always already self-consciously enmeshed in an ensemble of social relations (beginning in childhood, since his father was part of the Anti-Prussian movement).
