I absolutely agree with what they are.

I totally disagree with how to label them. Phrases such as “Marxist” “socialist” even “communist” have utterly no meanting to many people under 50 and to almost anyone under 40. To them, something called “Marxism” or “communism” was associated with some country-—they don’t know who-—that died 30 years ago, and there is, again, to them, no current example of this Marxism that you speak of. They don’t see Cuba as “Marxist,” only backward.

So is not the solution to educate them? Don’t accept their ignorance....................... Teach them.

I try to have historical conversations with the Hispanic tenants. Both local and world history. Explaining the 2nd to a former gangster was interesting and he echoed back the ideas to me.
