Capitalists can just be like “dude look at this NPR article socialism is bad”
Meanwhile I have to have an extensive understanding of philosophy, history, science, economics and politics in order to justify my worldview.
Sometimes I forget that people don’t have comprehensive world views, and accidentally say something’s CIA propaganda, then have to go through that whole process of explaining how the CIA having fronts and interfering in global affairs isn’t a conspiracy, it’s just reality, and that finding sources about it isn’t the same as finding sources for an 8th grade book report, because it’s the goddamn CIA! Shits exhausting and sucks balls, I just want to be dumb I know I’m right bitch, get off my dick
This is what I refer to when I bitch about how I shouldn’t have to be a communist all the time. The worldview and understanding that Marxism has taught me is that you have to study the history and causes of certain events and why we have a propaganda line that twists the truth or even outright lies to us. But I shouldn’t have to always be an encyclopedia like you said.
