They're too fuckin dumb to understand nuanced material critique, so all you're doing is giving them ammo to justify their own anticommunist biases from a left lens. There is no nuance in mainstream politics and the discussions therein, only extremes of black and white, with freedom countries on one and evil dictatorships on the other. Stop it.
:cringe: I think a good step 0 is not referring to fellow workers this way.
It's not a matter of intelligence or ability to understand "nuance", that's a liberal-ass statement and also ableist. Decades and decades of exposure to the most powerful propaganda machine in history is what shuts people off from even considering the smallest fraction of leftist ideas.
