Why do "intellectuals" suck at war, competition, and conflict? Shouldn't they have defeated the capitalist dum-dums and jocks by now with their superior intellect?

That's like criticizing people who want to end world hunger for the fact that world hunger still exists. The book doesn't tell us how to overthrow capitalism and it doesn't intend to. Even if it did, it doesn't follow that the books "instructions" would actually be followed or that the book instructs us on how to make those instructions be followed. Stop being an idiot.
