This makes it really easy for them to just become right wing by default. It's a lot less effort to tell someone everything sucks cuz some evil shadowy cabal hates you, than it is to sit somebody down and explain to them economic theory and give them a history lesson on the New Deal. They stop listening before you finish saying the word economic.
Also, this part is amusing because Marxist/socialist theory is premised on there being an evil shadowy cabal behind everything and that loyalty to this cabal trumps everything including capitalist economics.

This is what explains the disconnect between socialists who believe they aren't totalitarian and are actually arguing against it as they argue for a complete totalitarian system. They never examine the premise that explains there is an evil class that will do anything to harm everyone else by denying them utopia. It's the need to stamp out this class, and its sympathizers, that ratchets only in one direction.

They claim this is a "right-wing" trait because they all adopted the opinion that "left = good" and "right = bad" and what is actually being advocated is irrelevant, what matters is your "position" on a spectrum that doesn't make any sense and this somehow makes the "left" ratchet immune from criticism. It's much simpler to notice that both Marxism and MAGA are reactionary.

So what you're saying is Marx also had to beg for food to survive on the Victorian-era equivalent of Twitter?
