So, because Marx correctly attributed the root cause of the civil war to the souths insistence on perpetuating and expanding the Peculiar Institution, anyone who also correctly identifies that root cause is what? A closet marxist themselves? Are you really that stupid?
It would be more accurate to say that anyone who defends the confederacy is a Klanner, either in fact or in inclination.

No need to be nasty, rockyy. Obviously it’s someone who is in agreement with Karl Marx’s interpretation of the Civil War. A rather basic tautology. Nothing stupid about it. Obviously there’s a number of theories on the root causes of the Civil War, but Karl Marx’s explanation is the one tracking closest to the modern South-hater.
Glad to see that you found the old communist a congenial thinker. I figured that you would enjoy him.
You really should read through the rest of Marx’s Civil War writings, I suspect that you might find a few new arguments to add to your anti-Confederate arsenal:
