You have to be willfully blund not to be able to see, plain as day, that a Marxist analysis clearly explains the whole of modern American politics - the Democrats represent the green and tech sectors along with the educational and parts of the military (Navy and to a lesser extent Air Force) complexes, while the Republicans represent extractive industrie like oil and coal, heavy manufacturing, and the Army and Marines. The Democrats also represent sectors concerned with trade, such as importers, while Republicans represent domestic manufacturing.
Is that a simplification? Barely. And the solutions proposed even by well-meaning "classical liberals" are innate. Take the Gamestop thing. That was all started by a specific Redditor, u/DeepFuckingValue, who had been pushing it for two years and just happened to have $300k to sink into it. What is actually going to happen is that a bunch of larger firms are going to gobble up the carcass of Melvkn Capital. Some people will make out like bandits, but for the most part this was an orchestrated "populist libertarian" move to benefit larger hedges.
The Democrats will, given free reign, absolutely create a morally hedonistic surveillance police state, racially integrated among the elite but with massive chasms at the bottom papered over by Keynesian makework and welfare programs. This is the direction we're going to move in.
The Republicans will, given free reign, absolutely create a morally puritanical police state, with less racial integration among the very elite but marginally more at the bottom as a consequence of their policies.
The libertarians probably require an extended period of Democratic dominance for their niche views to begin to come to the fore, and America and capitalism will never be an anarchocapitslist paradise. The Greens, who are also capitalist of the worst kind, will find their views rolled into the Democratic Party. Most socialist sects are basically State capitalist.
It isn't a matter of wrongthink. Righthink does not change objective, concrete conditions. If the whole country converted to ideological Communism en masse, all at once, in their heads it would not further revolution whatsoever.
