Yes; that was actually my point. Poisoned by the philosophies of Marx, Mao, and the rest of ‘em.
The key advantage of the phlophicy of Marx, Mao, and indeed even Keynesian economics is not so much the specificity of the believes which are delusional, but rather the fact that each of theses ideologies allow & justify politicians boundless uses of power & our money.
You see it is the nature of politicians that we are fighting as much as theses specific ideologies. That in itself is why the left have so much easier a task to accomplish, aside from their paid professional army of community organizers.
Our advantage on the other hand lays in the individual hearts desire for freedom, and resentment of government injury. Thus to build our base depends upon broadening the tax-base and raising awareness of the cost in liberty of government.
The key to our successful attacks will be in setting the interest of politicians groups against one anther. (make them fight to take power from one anther rather than from us)
