  Not necessarily. It’s about brain-washing the young. To the old, their political party is a tool for enrichment that they don’t necessarily believe in strongly.
  The young are looking for meaning, and filling their heads with bullshit can get them going to whatever political (or… religious) end you push them towards. It’s been done many, many times before.
  Animal Farm covered it (and so much more) with Snowball’s puppies he stole, raised himself, and grew to be his ferocious guard dogs.
