People in Soviet Union were forced to learn about dialectical materialism in the university (and probably in high school too) regardless of their major and they developed an uncanny ability to pass those exams while having zero understanding of underlying topics.

At worst they channeled it into a galaxy-brain conception of communism that even an American boomer would think that's a bit much.
