They’re sold the Marxist line of everyone being equal. Though Marxism has been implemented in ways that have created new, more restrictive power structures rather than eliminating far less restrictive old ones. What transpires is that the leaders or ruling parties gain from the system, even more than they would in a capitalist society. This is driven by the inability to vote them out based on the loss of the population’s political rights. Historically, Marxism has led to centralisation of power, which severely limits the benefits for the average worker in those societies.
And the intellectuals and activists who advocate for Marxist, green Islamist ideologies benefit from the recognition and influence that come with being at the forefront of social movements, even if the overall system they promote isn’t anything like they claim it will be. They make money exploiting the disenfranchised and the ignorant.
It is why so many people have to be manipulated into thinking everything about their country is bad — about their history, their society, their freedom and their wealth when it isn’t.
The propaganda of illusory truth is being used to change Western democracies for the worse.
