In the past the hard left wouldn't openly utter the narrative, couldn't dare be honest. It is this: The unwashed hordes, the hoi polloi, are too uneducated, too ignorant, to make decisions for themselves. The mission of academia for at least a generation now, is to quash independent thought, in the guise of actually teaching it. I see the results of this every day in my interactions with university students who are so well conditioned and programmed, they don't really even know for sure what independent thought really is.Is this why you Statists are for larger Government? To save us from ourselves?
They have this "question everything" mentality, but will try to savage you if you tell them "Yes, and start with your professors!" The very idea that one would dare question the motives of THAT leadership is anathema to them.
They have a Pavlovian conditioning that is frightening, but also relatively easy to break, given a little time and a few good examples.
