Do you control the public education system? Because until you do, you have to work with the educational background of the population you're given, not the one you want.

Edit: the replies to this comment that I can see are so nonsensical or make so many wrong assumptions that it's impossible to to even know where to start with them. I'll just leave my reaction at "????". If you, dear reader, want to explain to those people why their statements make no sense, I applaud your effort and the essay it will require.

To be honest, people who didn't go to school were less propagandized against Marxism.

Obviously you do, and obviously the Bolsheviks and Maoists and the Cuban communists successfully did.
