Engage a liberal on Marxism and witness pure ideological autocomplete when they start flawlessly regurgitating anti-communist talking points with zero cognitive friction. No material analysis, no historical engagement, just the frictionless recall of a language model trained on Cold War tropes.

My dad, the ultimate lib, is like this. You can’t even interrupt him since the program’s still running in his brain.

‘Yeah, it’s great if the country could climb out of poverty like China, but having democracy and freedom is important’

The freedom to starve if you can't find a job fast enough in "insert any capitalist country" and never see any real improvement in your life is a foundamental part of democracy that we must defend!
