I guess my only point is that people can be steered away from the ideas of Socialism and Marxism if exposed to relevant information. It's mostly ignorance and misinformation that drives people towards the left, which is one reason why especially young people lean left.

All of this is a war between propaganda and brainwashing vs reality and truth.

If I weren't so contrarian personality-wise, I might be a staunch leftist moron today. There's a terrifying thought, at least for me...
