There's no shortage of smug condescending idiots who fancy themselves communists or Marxists that think they are better than everyone else and can't fathom how anyone can think differently. It's hilarious as they claim to be Marxist yet are bourgeoisie as fuck and utterly despise the rural and working classes as being beneath them. They are just as much caught up in silly bourgeoisie trends and care more about those than actually doing anything to help the poor and working classes.

Orwell said it best. "One sometimes gets the impression that the mere words ‘Socialism’ and ‘Communism’ draw towards them with magnetic force every fruit-juice drinker, nudist, sandal-wearer, sex-maniac, Quaker, ‘Nature Cure’ quack, pacifist, and feminist in England.”

Any sort of strong ideological dogma leads to this kind of "I'm better than you because I know the thing how could you be so stupid" smugness and inability to take evidence or questioning that goes against your dogma. I'll rail on the corporate medical profit driven amoral capitalist systems when they cause harm to people but you'll share your side of the fence with all the idiots that rail against drugs because they "are chemicals" and that pot or whatever snake oil is trendy at the moment is gonna cure cancer or whatever. Can't argue or reason with them because if you even mention shit like drugs actually working and with proper use being better than some old wives cure with no proof they'll simply lump you in the same as some pill pusher wanting to get you on anti-depressants because your wife died and you feel sad.
