Humans are strange animals. cause the counter argument is why do they vote the opposite way. take for example France, the left can't garner more than 30% of the vote, if we dissect further which part of this left is at least verbally anti capitalistic, than this ratio falls to 13%.
It's because people are led to believe that the extreme right is defending the working class against the establishment. The disillusion will hit hard I hope.
So the lower class is basically dumb and can't recognize its interests from its enemie's interests
Because the "left" they let you vote for in any Western capitalist country is always incompetent and does fuck all for the general public by design. So young people naively vote for them, get their hopes up, get disappointed, and either stop bothering to vote after a few cycles (or just go through the motions of voting for whoever they despise the least knowing it doesn't do anything) or end up in the other direction on the far right complaining about the ineffectual libs (which is what they want).
They're not going to let you vote for someone who's actually anticapitalist or could actually threaten the aristocracy. The right have successfully set up strawman leftist parties that don't work and everyone hates and tries to make you think that's all the left is (at least that's my personal conspiracy theory).
may be the words you were looking for are "controlled opposition", the western left is just a sham facade put up buy the capitalist and financed by the capitalist so that the real left becomes invisible. they are infiltrated by the careerists paid for the elite class.
Anticapitalism, and especially antineoliberalism, is not a monopoly of the left.
