Dude straight up reached under the superstructure and pulled it up to show the ocean of resentment and righteous malice working class people have for the elites
The collective mind is willing, but the body politic is drowned by the old reactions and false consciousness
It is far easier to talk to ignorant conservatives because at the very least, they acknowledge something is wrong with the system.
The affluent libs are the worst, no matter how progressive they claim to be, it is almost impossible to penetrate through their defensive barrier and every legitimate argument is ultimately countered with “and so do everyone else, we’re still the least bad.”
The ones who are still salvageable are those who have personally experienced being crushed by the system before.
But then there are two types of libs: those who don’t have a connection with the working class, and those who wish they don’t have a connection with the working class. So there’s that.
I had an easier time and made more inroads with conservatives when I used to live in the US (and I’m a Chinese who is known to be a commie lol) than many of the progressive libs earning high salaries.
But at the end of the day, the propaganda is too strong but what the left really needs is an organized, sustained political movement and start winning major victories. Once you get the score rolling and people start seeing what’s possible, they will start to come over to your side, and it will bring you more supporters than trying to argue with people for years about why socialism is better lol.
there are also a lot of libs that are just normal working class people
That’s what I said in my comment. The ideologically committed libs will be willing to throw the working class people and minorities under the bus if it suits their own interests.
