Feel like shit just want public television to make documentaries about Marx
Oh, they will cover it, just not from the angle we would like to hear. They will 100% manufacture consent to justify trump's "I'm gonna deport all Marxists". Red scare stocks are very bullish.
When Trump and others like him (Stephen Miller specifically since he's the genesis for most of Trump's racist rhetoric) say "Marxists" they mean democrats. They mean basically anyone who disagrees with them. Miller (probably) knows what Marxism actually is. Doubtful any of Trump's cabinet besides him will know. Maybe some of the generals (because the US military makes sure they're actually educated. You can see/hear top generals quote Mao and shit. Not because they agree, but because they had to learn it to "understand the enemy")
I have listened to more James Lindsay and his ilk than I care to admit. The one thing these new “anti-Marxists” make clear is that actual Marxists are not the target, it’s Democrats or anyone they think is “woke”. It’s just red baiting, simple as. They will read (or usually just quote-mine) the Manifesto and then point to ways that Joe Biden or people who just want rights for trans people are actually “Marxists”.
Id support getting deported for free. My mandarin sucks but I'm sure I'd be able to improve.
