Why were the guys trying to point out THE PROPAGANDA TECHNIQUES OF CAPITALISTS...

....painted by conservatives (and the CIA https://www.counterpunch.org/2017/06/15/why-the-cia-cares-about-marxism/) as being propagandists?
I think it's why identity politics and the new left were allowed to rise (encouraged even). Because these guys talking about CLASS and hence the authorities needed to replace them with Neo-Liberal Capitalists.
Well, poor people are still poor... and the rich are richer. This is why we need to tax the rich; so the poor don't get too poor.
Universal basic income now?

Because they didn't merely point out those propaganda techniques, they tried to weaponize them against capitalism. That weaponized propaganda created useful idiots that shilled for the Soviet Union for decades. Identity politics are infinitely better precisely because it drives people into shit-filled echo chambers.

if you've actually read any of these writers it is clear to see they were generating trendy literary critical theory that reinforced the supremacy of marxism and freudianism so they could keep their hold of the academy and maintain society under a soft marxism. there is precious little of value in their clever tomes. most jewish scholarship is this way sadly.
pointing out the propaganda techniques of capitalists using marxist and freudian critique when those very capitalist techniques were taken from freudian invention of public relations is a bit disingenuous.

the criticism industry does not so much adapt to the creations of the real artists and thinkers it parasitizes so much as it perverts and drowns their complexity in the jealous noise of classification
