It's old communist propaganda. They're still spewing the party line, but their ideology is discredited, and they're stuck with nothing but their hatred for America

It comes out in the liberal critique of US foreign policy. It's a Materialist v. Idealist analysis of events. The Marxist materialist explanation discounts ideological motivations in favor of material causation. "It's all about oil", or "it's a response to what we do". The ideas that drive behavior, ideology, don't even seem to register in the equation.
