Their world view is entirely different than conservatives. They believe that socialism works. They do not believe that capitalism works. They have to come up with a bunch of conspiracy theories to explain why the world does not agree with their world view.

Yes. Karl Marx was a fantasist. He made up words for things that do not exist. His terms are poetic, not scientific. Over a hundred years of Leftist academic nonsense has been directed at destroying free enterprise because these jackasses think it’s unfair. They proceed from idiotic assumptions. Smart people who believe in that the world is moved by a Marxian ex machina. The Berkeley meeting had the feel of a Marxist revival meeting. They are insane.
