There’s an episode in Family Guy where Lois’ Dad, a billionaire, dresses up as a character called “Joe Workingman” that he uses to larp as “working class” to trick low-information voters into voting in favor of oligarchs.
This is basically all DSA campaigns, especially Platner’s

Kill their democratically elected leaders
Arm and train their most radical insurgents as they happen to be anti-communists
Then kill them some more
Cry when their societies don't magically turn into Iceland

Grow up and wait for your frontal lobe to fully develop in your early 40s.
