    Pretending that Xi isn't a communist and that he is instead part of an international cabal to unseat the deepstate is more likely to succeed with these people than telling them that democrats aren't communists. Put his head alongside Putin, Modi, Trump and whoever else these goons think are fighting the deepstate and you can make them into unwitting supporters of anti-imperialism.

        Yes kinda.

        Really the point is that the "deep state" is an esoteric and borderline meaningless boogeyman that you can turn into anything you want. If you take a bunch of countries that conservatives see as having "conservative" values in that they're not loudly pro-lgbt or diversity etc etc and then call them the opposition to the deepstate who want these things, connect the dots up with anti-imperialism and you can make unintentional anti-imperialists out of conservatives with incredible levels of brainworms.

        After achieving that in a bunch of people the next step would be figuring out how to turn them into a fifth column via some sort of "become ungovernable" approach.
