I mean, this would absolutely work on nonconformists who break rules for the sake of breaking rules, and kids/teenagers. Want a kid, or someone with a childish mindset, to study something, the best way is to convince them they’re not supposed to and they’re getting away with something. Use that on people with demand avoidance tendencies or who break rules to break rules, and use “the government doesn’t want you to read this” to reach a broader group. But yeah, if you want to get teenagers reading ML theory, this would probably work better than anything a lot of young commies are doing to radicalise peers…
