I agree with other commenters here, there are many among the liberal elite who would on some level accept the Marxist critique of capitalism. They do this insofar as the critique in questions stays focused on the evil character of a select few instead of the system itself. Where the "scratch a liberal fascist bleeds" truism begins to show is in the vehemence with which the liberals will balk or outright oppose any serious attempts to advocate for the overthrow of capitalism or the imperialism which upholds it (especially in the United States). On a side note, I'll admit I can't stomach anything that gives off "theatre kid" or "broadway musical" vibes, so Bo Burnham is generally gets a #yikes from me lol.

Have you seen this? It seems like he feels the exact same way.
