Let’s separate the facts from the fiction with respect to the U.S. Democrat party and communism as dictated by the philosophy of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels.
The bible for the political and economic ideology known as communism is the Manifesto of the Communist Party (the “Communist Manifesto”), written by Marx and Engels in 1848. In the Communist Manifesto, Marx and Engels set forth their philosophy that calls for the organization of the proletariat into a class, which then overthrows the bourgeois, secures political power, and imposes a communist system of government based on Marxist principles.
An examination of the core principles that permeate the Communist Manifesto is enlightening.
A major principle in the Communist Manifesto is the idea of “oppressor and oppressed,” which Marx and Engels largely saw as the battle between the proletariat, or working class, and the bourgeois, which might be thought of as the business owners. Marxism sees the bourgeois exploiting the proletariat. I believe that for much of the 20th century, the Democrat party tried to use this philosophy to secure power in the U.S., but ultimately, the Democrats failed, because the working class in America was far better off and therefore less susceptible to manipulation than the same class in the 19th-century Europe of Marx and Engels. Recognizing its failure, during the latter years of the 20th century and even more into the beginning of the 21st century, the Democrat party pivoted from exploiting a class dynamic to utilizing a race-based approach, which application is more suited to the composition of the U.S. population.
In addition, the “oppressor and oppressed” dynamic is played out in the relationships between labor unions and management, where the Democrat party has historically supported labor. I always wondered how labor could legally organize, whereas management was prohibited from organizing

Isn’t it ironic that communist governments are the most oppressive? If the communists want to stop the oppressors, they should start with themselves.
We should be studying Mao. I doubt that he quoted much of Marx or Engles.
Modern Democrats have much more in common with Mao.
Bkmk
“ I always wondered how labor could legally organize, whereas management was prohibited from organizing”
Without the ability to use force and threats of violence against any attempt to replace strikers, a strike would just be a mass resignation.
>>Modern Democrats have much more in common with Mao.
Please explain?
I expect that it is too much to just explain. We should study more of the Maoist revolution in China, than Marx and Engles, though, I believe.
I notice that Modern Democrats do NOT want a popular candidate to win, for instance. They would much prefer that the candidate be unpopular, but win, anyway. They have a very Maoist view of the “democracy” that they want to save.
Obama’s house?......
From what I have read Marx was just a penniless bum. A Ne’er-do-well.
I think his ideas were just coopted by crooks and thieves as the basis of their standard con to trick people into slavery.
Bad humans have been running this con on other groups of humans since the beginning. For whatever reason, it works really well on humans.
in the universities. All the filth spreads from there. All the communists in the media went to the same schools.
Where are the 325K missing children. What did the democrats do with the bodies
The Democrat party is a terrorist organization.
BTTT
Democrats worship Satan. It all starts from there.
Would make for a nice Venn Diagram, we love Venn Diagrams….
Modern Rats are a coalition of every flavor of communism. They are all willing to work together towards the single goal of converting the US into communism. Once that task is complete it will be a never ending war amongst themselves as one brand of communism attempts to hold power over the others.
Democrat party tried to use this philosophy to secure power in the U.S.
And still are it’s why the party was formed Biden Harris are living proof of it.
Fabian Socialists applaud
