"who gives a shit about this stuff? my grandfather fought these fights
and he's long since dead and gone 40+ years ago."

On the one hand I agree that we have to fight our fights. On the other hand
our history is part of our present and if we want to make the future we have
to learn from our past in its positive and negative sense. This is what, I
think, historical and dialectical materialism is about.
