"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

Do liberals really believe in the 'separation of the state and the church(religious institution)'? A lot of them are very sympathetic to Theocracies, e.g. The Vatican City, Tibet etc. (lemmygrad.ml)

I think its dishonest, disingenuous, and a little dangerous to treat libs like NPCs. they do have thougts and beliefs its that they hae not grappled with the controdictions within them yet.

These contradictions lead to them doing as they are told tho. It is not that they're NPCs, it is that the hegemonic character of liberalism results in it being replicated in all forms of media, which in turn teaches it to the person consuming it. Thus the liberals are told that liberalism is best and imperialism is good for them, their ungrappled contradictions within their beliefs and thoughts then lead to them doing as they are told.

As liberalism does not promote the holding of any beliefs, liberals do not hold any. With enough time they'll(as a mass of people) believe anything, thus nothing.
