High school essay ass writing, the opiate quote does not even make sense here, it's not like Marx thought opium was bad because it made you fight against your oppression
The author has internalized the war on drugs, and thinks “opium” is a synonym for “addictive bad thing.” I bet they didn’t even consider the possibility that it meant a sedative/painkiller with no real value judgement attached.
Yeah I mean this is not an uncommon misconception but All the more reason for this ostensible person of letters to do even a little bit of fucking reading and analysis. The opiate of the masses quote actually explains exactly why Marx WOULD have supported Hamas. This writer would get that if they weren’t intellectually lazy and deeply unserious
