I guess they are so general and meandering that they function like a rorschach test.

There is definitely something like that to appellist litterature. It's very poetic romance that can be appealing to a lot of folks, without centering discourse on what is oppression and privilege, mostly due to being written by a bunch of higher-classes white men.

Its shocking to me that this is the practical application you'd come up with from reading

Yes, that is sad. But to be honest i believe it's less a problem with the book and more a problem with the imaginary party not being so imaginary after all.. and having very concrete strategies for entryism in social struggles with a concealed agenda. Already before the evictions, the appellists on the ZAD had constituted a very secret group called CMDO to seize control of various collective infrastructure (including meetings), and they insisted for quite some time this group did not exist if my memory does well.
