Karl Marx’s biggest philosophical mistake is his trust in the proletariat, forgetting that the average Joe is a complete dumbass.
You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know... morons.
This is why education is such a pillar of society and why authoritarian ideologies oppose it so much. If the working class gets too smart then the owning class is in trouble.
I prefer the term, complex dumbass.
