Biden has skid Marx...

The working class, Marx's original target audience, now wears red baseball caps, so Marxism had to be updated in order to remain relevant. Christopher Rufo describes how that happened in his excellent book America's Cultural Revolution: How the Radical Left Conquered Everything (New York: Broadside, 2023).

Nope...can't agree with this. It's Mao Tse Tung who's alive and well. Karl Marx was damn pragmatist compared to Mao.

I see what you did there...

I am currently reading Mark Levin’s “ American Marxism “ He really summarizes what is going on in our country and how we got here. Not an easy read but I recommend.

It isn’t common knowledge that Marx was a Freemason.

Karl Marx is the father of modern Communism. Although some Masons have rejected him, Marx is believed to have been a 32nd degree Grand Orient Freemason.

Exactly. Some say Marx would have been appalled at the things that have been done in his name. Maybe, maybe not.

I think we can all agree that the world would’ve been a far better place if Karl Marx had never existed.

[No name given]

And the vast majority of those ideas weren’t even his, he simply parroted 🦜 Rosseau and Voltaire.

There's always been envy. Communism is all about envy, so even if there wasn't Marx, there would have been something like Communism proposed in some form or another.

Marx also said that Communism could only happen in Industrialized nations, he never would have thought it would have been in Russia, which at the time was mostly agricultural.

Marx is antique. He railed against the weakness of industrialism. Civilization has exponentially improved--economically--and it's no longer a sore spot to score points. Marx is no longer in the driver's seat. Instead, think race and identity politics. Sexual politics, not economics. That's the new battering ram. Who came up with the switch?

[cowboyusa]

Most evil man who ever lived. ( So far.) Nazism was just Marxism applied to race, and so is blm.
