    Marx’s early works are really interesting from this perspective. His communism very clearly developed out of his disappointment with liberalism for not making good on its promises of rights, freedoms, etc

      Adding onto that, I think I understand why liberal propaganda is so effective.

      Maybe I’m showing my ass here, but I really really want to be proven wrong and liberal capitalist democracy brings about a freer, safer world. Because many a lefty wants liberalism to work, that’s where the propaganda gets its power from.
