Yeah, you're probably right. I would just think that it would be in the administration's interest to stock its departments and cabinets with people who think outside of capitalist propaganda.
why? people doing the correct thing for capital can believe whatever they want, they can believe they are building jesus, they can believe they are building rapture, they can think they are bringing democracy, it's precisely in those obfuscations lies the power of murican propaganda. same for porkies obscuring exploitation with 50 theories of markets, money etc, pick your theory any theory
I guess in my head I've been thinking about it like the antithesis of, "Revolutionary Action requires Revolutionary Theory." "Imperialist Action requires Imperialist Theory." I can see the importance of any ideology that supports the status quo, whether it be an accurate reflection of reality or not, but I would think it be more beneficial to capital to have its higher-ups understand and hold an imperialist theory that's more reflective of reality. But yeah, I totally get what you mean.
For me, the kinda unanswerable question is, should i bother to explain to some zog chud skeptical of entity the reasoning and wrongness of occupied theory, and have them go oh, that’s good then
