Honestly I think people here know and what's happening is more of a deliberate decision. The left projects in the US & UK collapsed with socially progressive NGOs playing a huge part and with some of their most prominent leaders siding with the capitalist to kill off any material gains for most people. This combined with how poorly Chomsky's and other left academic hand wringing over the Soviet Union has aged is probably pushing people to abandon the pre-bernie alignment and throw all in with China.

It's also hard to overstate how many Americans are simply in really bad situations and would rather have Chinese policies regardless of any social conservatism.
