But the people opposing BTC haven’t thought it through to this extent. They just think it uses too much energy or enables criminals. The left won’t oppose it because it threatens government. They might even adopt it because it banks the poor. Let them find out for themselves!

Maybe there’s some vague truth to that, but then are you arguing that you think the increasing support for Marxism (or a significant part of it) is because you think none of them know what Marxism means?
Yes, I don’t think they know what any of it really means. They’re just repeating slogans to express emotions. I’d say reach out to the left by letting them know they can eliminate the banking middleman and bank the unbanked. Maybe they will support it. Then one day, the government won’t be able to fund all the bullshit, but their own lives will be better, given improved conditions, less squandering of wealth, and they can tell their kids how they helped bring about the revolution that toppled the corrupt elites. And they won’t be entirely wrong.
Liberal statist here 🙋♂️
I am in favor of replacing many key functions of the banking sector with bitcoin for the reasons you mentioned.
I'm not saying we shouldn't try to appeal to the good things in any belief system, but I do think trying to fool people who don't really think at all into supporting a thing is generally a losing game.
