A mainstay of Marxist activism, as a part of “consciousness raising,” is what is billed as “making oppression visible.” Marxists tend to think that ideology and other structural forces of society obscure oppression from people’s consciousness until it’s “made visible” through their activism and the process of conscientization. Of course, as with all things Marxist, not only does this cut both ways, though, it also obscures (through projection) the fact that Marxists are always causing tremendous amounts of oppression, which they successfully hide. In fact, this inversion of reality is central to their activism, and they live in constant fear that if their oppression is “made visible” it will be resisted and stopped, and not for no reason. Thanks to their linguistic, emotional, and moral distortions, however, the real mainstay of Marxist activism isn’t making “oppression” visible through Critique; it’s hiding their own oppressive harms from most people’s view. In this episode of my subscribers-only podcast, James Lindsay OnlySubs, I explore the activist dimension of all brands of Marxism in terms of how they hide their evil and thus make oppression invisible.

Here’s a pamphlet from Wisconsin New Leftists from 1967.

As you can see, they weren’t the establishment then! But “deplorables” like Eric Hoffer were!
[Yuval Noah Harari, ‘futurist’ author and chief adviser to Klaus Schwab, founder and director of the WEF] “… says the 20th century was marked by three big ‘stories’ that human beings told themselves in order to explain the world: Fascism, Communism and Liberalism.
All three of these movements placed an emphasis on the ‘common man’ in their propaganda messaging to the people, as opposed to earlier periods in history when kings and queens ruled by divine right and noblemen held ownership of the land, using the rest of the people as serfs.
Now, in the 21st century, people ‘are no longer part of the story of the future,’ Harari says. They simply have no role. Humanity 1.0 is being phased out, and only those humans willing to make the TRANSition to Humanity 2.0 and join the all-new species of transhumans, will be welcomed in the emerging technocratic society.”

It all sounds like scientology except without Tom Cruise. They both attack people the same way.
