An excellent analysis.

I just wonder if most of those reds are so stupid and brainwashed, not knowing what they do and having clever manipulators in their ranks who pull the strings,

I think that would very accurately probably describe most of the reds, and of course many have been born into it either thru place of birth or perhaps the beliefs of ones parents. Something not at all dissimilar would probably describe the bulk of the defacto capitalists as well I'd tend to think. Being raised within the US I was in effect a capitalist at one time, and was very much against the reds (ie communism), and I tend to think that opposition to it was rightly so. However my support of capitalism (if it can exactly be called that), and that of many others I'd tend to think, was more simply by default, being that was all that was known within the US, and not always neccessarily (or even generally) called capitalism....yet that is what it was and it too is quite a murderous and dehumanizing system as I've since realized. So, I think you have many reds and capitalists in each instance rightly criticizing (and thus blunting) the others capitalist and red systems they are upholding..ie the 'Cold War'...their actual support for their own system, 'the elephant in the lving room', tending I think in each instance, towards being that of one by default, and therefore not
true support. Even so, in this way the
whole capitalists and red programs got through in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries and are now presently 'converging' in multi-culturalism.
Needless to say, there's been a tremendous amount of deceit with this process.

or are all of them just plainly mean and evil. ie. knowing very well what they are doing and why and for whose benefit?

I'd think those near the top of the red and capitalist systems, who do know what those ideologies are along with their convergance multi-culturalism, and yet still promote them, would fit into something like that...or perhaps even having something along the lines of a mental illness.
