Never changing your world view is dogmatism and dogmatism is counter to leftism and it's principals. As a Marxist I except that my world view will be challenged and changed, since life is an ever unfolding process of change. Conditions change, and your analysis of those conditions will change your view of the world. The material world shapes your consciousness. The more you learn the more your consciousness becomes aligned with the material world. It is inescapable.

What you recognize as cringe was your false consciousness. That false consciousness was developed by the material world as well. Through the narrow window built for you by the ruling ideas of the ruling class.

This is the class struggle.
