I don't know how to get everyone I know to really understand this. Every time I bring it up in conversation, the other person just puts their hands up and explains that they're powerless to address it, so it's not even worth talking about. I don't know how to respond to the apathy.

Try recommending Marxist texts, or inserting them (tastefully) into conversation.

And, since we've shifted so far to the right, the "Marxist" texts can be written by John Maynard Keynes.

John Maynard Keynes isn't Marxist though

Yeah that's my point. The average democrat would consider him to be a dangerous radical leftist.

I wouldn't say that an American mainstream economist from the mid 20th century is part of the pipeline to radicalization, but sure

I agree with the sentiment, but I do think Marxism itself should be spread, haha.
