I think that it's maybe a little generous to call him fixated on theory.
No one said his idea of theory was even remotely correct or grounded in Marxist principles that weren't distorted to funhouse mirror levels
There are definitely theoretical points that he cared about (and indeed points he got right), but I guess my thing is that a lot of what he said seems downstream of his personal feud with Stalin and maybe thwarted personal ambitions, and for a professed Marxist speaking to fellow professed Marxists, theory is one of the most rhetorically expedient cudgels.
