What gets me is how they don't consider reading socialist theory, even just as opposition research. You'll find plenty of socialists who have read economists like Keynes and Rothbard, politicians like Obama and Bush, or even nonsense like Mein Kampf and the Unabomber manifesto. I know I've read these authors, not believed a word of it, but took the time to understand what they were saying and what arguments they were making.
You don't see this among liberals and reactionaries post-Cold War. They're so high on the End of History narrative, they no longer feel the need to do any due diligence. Condoleezza Rice, for example, has a degree in Soviet Studies. It's why she rose through the ranks of the GOP: she was one of the foremost experts on communism from a NATO perspective. But she's been tossed aside, with everyone jumping on the Trump Train.
You'd think they would consult her regarding the current Russian-Ukrainian War or something....nope! Degrees are for nerds (plus she's black).
Chevron named an oil supertanker after her, what more does she want!??!
