honestly I dont believe that.

the vast majority of people is probably not on either end of the political spectrum and just tries to not stare the reality in the face.

but you are correct that both extremes in the US are equally braindead. the "left" thinks dems are their savior and the maga/reps do the opposite. No actual red force there. i mean it is the imperial core, what do we expect.

i just went on an extended rant to my wife how germany is in a similar situation and likely is the whole of the western states. we are under a 24/7 propaganda umbrella that 99% of the population are subjected to.

it reminds me of the matrix movie. if you talk to a person outside, you never know if they will turn out to be an agent of the system.

this leads me to several conclusions:

1. we need to work underground
2. we need to educate people on marxist-leninist ideology
3. we need to get more people as educators
4. we need to to coordinate
5. we need to stay off the capitalist governments radar.

This will be disgustingly hard but we have some allies which turn out to be exceedingly helpful once people are subject to. show people travel videos of china and dprk and they immediately get confused because their programming is throwing errors.

The other conclusion is that we (the ones privileged enough to talk on this platform, requiring reading comprehension, expressive capabilities, time and education) arent the majority of the working class and it does not make sense to limit oneself to this place as we need to get into places where we can talk to large quantities of people and turn them for our cause. we need easily and sort of anonymously deployable knowledge (aka newspapers, pamphlets, social media stuff, etc) to push people towards liberation.
