Lenin didn't get off stage after a speech and say, "Phew, I hope those suckers bought all stuff about comrades and revolution. I need a drink." He lived for his ideology, he had to, totalitarians are ruthless. They will eat half-believers the same as non-believers. AOC has been a busy body authoritarian hall monitor her whole life. She means everything she says genuinely. Even in her most delusional and sociopathic moments, there isn't an ounce of irony or cynicism in her body.
