Capitalism makes the 99% subservient to the 1%, and socialists want to end that. I’ll tell you what the right’s racism & jingoism is: it’s wealthy people convincing non-wealthy white people to blame nonwhite people & foreigners for their problems, instead of correctly blaming the wealthy ruling elite themselves.
I would argue that socialism is not the far left that causes problems. In communism, ie the far left, it’s the same as the far right; powerful and/or wealthy people oppressing the masses.
Those are the kinds of beliefs that false consciousness tends to produce.

I was taught that in high school. Turns out, it’s just not true.
