I have lately started to think that the Left's idea of socialism/communism being the goal is a ruse used to keep their foot soldiers placated. Socialism/communism sounds nice to those who have been propagandized by the media, Hollywood, and academia into believing that such a system brings fairness to all.

The real goal is totalitarianism with a nod to oligarchy.

As Jordan Peterson says (paraphrasing Jung): People don't have ideas (or ideologies). Ideas have people.

Jung thought that there were metaphysical forces behind ideas and ideologies.

Once look at the Democratic Party and the idea of demonic possession by ideology begins to make sense.

Alinsky thought so too.

I wouldn't disagree with that, although the foot soldiers still need something to believe in. But if they win, it will create a true hereditary ruling class, more like the middle ages.
