Yeah, I know that, the question was rhetorical. God, the Cold War really destroyed the entire bloody Anglosphere’s political landscape, huh? And we’re still trying to pick up the pieces.
Reminder that like half the American “adult” population are functionally illiterate. Most of them are some sort of climate denier and believe in angles. I think it’s better if we start to referring to them as the “American peasantry” at this point, tho that might be classism idk.
It’s incorrect class analysis, if we want to stick to strictly correct Marxist analysis of class structures and labor relations, though it is a useful inaccuracy and comparison in broader terms for describing certain material realities affecting the majority of the proletariat in that country.
The Red Scare played a large part in creating these problems, but a massive factor most communists are unaware of or dismissive of, is poor education and functional illiteracy. A lot of people scream about the Cold War, but don’t realise that all the Red Scare residue is so sticky because these are people who just don’t know any better.
God, why are Americans so fucking dumb and so prone to just immediately blame communists for anything they don’t like?
The Cold War, bourgeois interests, a touch of classical European antisemitism historically.
