      That's what i meant, most people support an ideology because their moral system feels like it's the correct one, but a lot of people will go on about theory or what Marx said and also not read anything. i.e https://hexbear.net/post/97958/comment/1076841

        You can get an intuitive understanding of Communism at the very least without literally reading all 3 volumes of Capital. It's a coherent school of thought and way of analyzing reality. Neoliberal ideology is completely incoherent and contradictory which leads its supporters to completely defer to the ghouls.

        A marxist can explain why the U.S has been bombing the middle east but a neoliberal will ask for 'studies' proving why it's a bad thing at all from the very same institutions that will disintegrate if imperialist conquest ends. And then they will not read them anyway because those studies need to be written in biblical latin for the liberal masses to keep faith.

        Marxist theory is purposely written in common language; neoliberalism is not meant to be understood. On that alone I can tell you that the ratio of Marxists that understand what they believe in vastly outsizes the proportion of neoliberals that understand what they're doing.
