regardless of their own education levels, it is in fact true that communists generally tend to side with exploited workers, who generally have low levels of education themselves, against an academic elite in the bourgeois institutions, like the universities. the lie is that the academy is liberal. the academy has always been very conservative.
that was the basis of so many leftists siding with uneducated, exploited black workers during the civil rights era, against the educated elite at the time, who were southern whites.
i need to make the point as clear as i can. i don't want to support the party of christianity, for obvious reasons - the exploitation there is immense. but, i'm going to go wherever it is that the workers are organizing against the elite, and if that ends up being the republican party then so be it. i guess that the next step is pushing out the christians and conservatives.
and, i'm not going to accept any shaming around being lower-class, or standing up for the rights of the lower class, as that has always been where my politics are, in the first place.
i will stand with the deplorables against the pharisees, as is required. that is where the need is for social activism, in our society, today.
