      by capitalists because one day they might get to be the capitalist

      Partly true (and I'm all good with it), but I would add that American liberals also are willing to get exploited because those outside of the borders are being exploited even more intensely by their same masters. [They think that] As long as they passively allow this to continue, low cost treats will continue to flow. This is true, but not indefinitely, however the real pressure is only just starting to kick in this decade.

          That's not a helpful level of detail in the U.S. Anyone who isn't already a leftist hears "both sides are the same" and tunes the rest out.

              So we write people off because they don't know leftist jargon, or would yawn at a dense old economics treatise? That's not a good plan.

              The main, immediate challenge for the U.S. left right now is to figure out how to bring the great mass of the population that's dissatisfied with capitalism into some kind of organized leftist movement. That's going to involve communicating with people in terms they understand, at least at first. Saying that liberals are anti-vaxers makes no sense to any ordinary person. If we can't speak to ordinary people, that's an us problem.
