Authoritarianism against capital - especially USAmerican - is why your tears Mr David a-million-Iraqis-murdered Frum are nourishing.

There are quicker ways of learning environmentalism without class struggle is just gardening.

I think it’s because of racism more often than not.

I think this plays a large factor. One can see this in the Philipines and India too (for the general populatuon rather than marxists alone). I think the propaganda often ends up being an advertisement for a license of bigotry rather a tool of "mind-control".

A potential approach: "Isn't it funny how the demonic military-industry-complex that bombs and tortures people all around the world seem to have similar goals as you? I wonder how they managed to convince someone as smart as you that what they did was Christian? Matthew 24:24 - For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive"

However, be aware of the problems with theories of brainwashing -

With regards to mental health: even in a capitalist society universal health care would go along way. However, we have to unfortunately contend whether that alone would help abolish the superstructures - including the institutions of imperialism and colonisation - that enable the license of bigotry.

Thank you Bernie Sanders for turning me into a Marxist-Leninist.

Your perception of that apparent incongruence is correct; they are not brainwashed.

They purposely seek bigoted narratives and outcomes because they believe they will personally benefit from it. They say one team is "objectively" better than another; we have to question for whom they are better for. The Democratic (and likewise for the Republican) party are perceived to be better for classes that are privileged enough to receive the benefits of their preferred bourgois political party, and they see themselves part of those privileged classes.

Those who vote for Democrats saying they are worried about fascism enacted against them personally if the Republican party comes to power are thereby admitting that they feel they are sufficiently immune to the barbarism enacted by the Democrats currently, and believe they are exempt from the barbarism the Democrats will enact in the future.

Americans—including this author—believe that the international security order the United States constructed in the aftermath of World War II and has been the guardian of in the decades since then has been a remarkable era in human history. This unprecedented “long peace” has provided stability that has enabled not only Americans but most of the other eight billion souls with whom we share this small planet to enjoy greater increases in income, health, and well-being than in any other era of recorded history.

Only a self-deluded parasitic culture could produce such a failure of a human being.

This article is hilarious. I am not even sure who the target audience is meant to be -sinophobic liberals who know what dialectical materialism is? That seems very niche. Maybe it doesn't have to make sense, maybe they were going for a word-salad vibes-based character-assassination.

Also the "shrodinger-style" attack; apparently Xi is both a very smart CPC president and also not able to explain dialectical materialism. Obviously no citations or proof offered for any of the allegations including the attacks of his higher education credentials.

The imperialist intelligensia must be getting more and more desperate as the contradictions of their parasitic economies draws on evermore deepening crises.

Addendum - I just saw someone else make a similar comment before me. I'll just leave it here rather than deleting this.

The Democrats deserve Trump as president; it is clear that they are more keen on keeping the genocide going than winning the election. Their USP is meant to be that they will ensure a more equitable distrubution of the imperial loot and they fail at even doing that.

It feels like at this stage if they could have then they already would have by now given the massive military infrastructure losses in northern palestine. They appear to be doing their best impression of a barking dog with no bite. Like a lot of western armies these day they appear to be better at killing civilians and ethnic cleansing as opposed to fighting other militaries.
