The bourgeoisie will distract us with anything to keep proletarians from revolutionizing for a system that actually benefits them (the majority) instead of the few people at the top. For example, whatever your opinion on China is, you are naive if you don’t look at the surge in anti-China news and think that they might be trying to get you to hate China.
Honestly, this feels more like a socialist explanation than a republican one. Not to say that’s bad, in fact, I’m a Marxist myself.
