I'll probably come to that conclusion eventually. With my upbringing, this particular approach is making sense to me. I'm not seeking to blame anyone, either, something something every problem becomes a nail.

We should not seek to blame someone, but the "something", which leads to all these repeating patterns of subconscious and hidden ideology within the capitalist-imperialist superstructure. All imposed onto people unbeknownst to them through conditioning that exists everywhere under capitalism.

Conditioning happens everywhere, always. I will argue there is desirable and undesirable conditioning, and the ideas of conditioning are ever-evolving. For example a few days ago, rainpizza posted a video, https://lemmygrad.ml/post/9326991/7092771 where this man spoke of ancestor worship influencing building a future for generations behind the current living generations. We can appreciate that is probably true and the primordial psychic urges (as well as modern social urges) that ancestor worship satisfies, without worshipping our ancestors, although they do deserve some credit, because they got us where we are now.

I've never been exposed to revolutionary psychology, but I've been exposed to varying degrees, of various religiophilosophies, some of which were strong in my own upbringing. I'm very much interested in learning about revolutionary psychology. I'll refrain from using a mythical archetype for my reasons.
