    You’re still misunderstanding idealism vs materialism. Your analysis is idealist, and that clouds your judgement of issues surrounding consumerism. Consumerism, as you describe it, still existed in Marx’s time, and the existence of it does not conflict with Marxism. Liberalism in general is idealist, but that doesn’t make it correct. Thoughts aren’t the primary movers, consumerism is driven by a necessity for Capitalists to sell more commodities. It isn’t the choice of individuals, but the underlying Capitalist system.

    You still have not made any point regarding workers and consumers. They are the same. They have always been the same. Revolution is further not a threat for them.

    Leftists do analyze the motivations of broism, you continue to invent problems that do not exist.

    Finally, Leftists do reach people, with action. It isn’t a “trap.”

    You don’t really have any real points, you are dead-set on your misinterpretations of left vs right and as a consequence don’t actually understand Leftist critique or analysis, and it seems deliberate.
