utopian fantasies for emotionalists:

Marx's ideas on class struggle and the overthrow of the bourgeoisie resonated with those who felt oppressed by the existing social and economic structures

Marx's idealized vision of a classless, communist society where the means of production are collectively owned and controlled appeals to those who seek a more equitable and just social order. The promise of economic and social equality, as well as the elimination of private property and the profit motive, holds a certain romantic appeal for the disaffected youth seeking radical change

His theory of historical materialism, which posited that the development of society is driven by the conflicts between social classes, offered a framework for understanding the dynamics of social change. This appealed to the youth's desire for a grand narrative and a sense of purpose in their pursuit of justice and equality.

Marx's critique of capitalism and advocacy for socialism provided a seemingly simple solution to complex problems. His emphasis on the redistribution of wealth and the abolition of private property appealed to those who felt that wealth inequality was unjust and that capitalism perpetuated systemic injustices

Avg IQ = 100. Democratic party base is the ones <85 ( ~10%) — the ones who cannot even be allowed into the Army as cannon fodder since the training is worth more than their catching a bullet that would have hit a worthwhile soldier.

Much of the world is too dumb to understand that all forms of collectivism is a death cult — their deaths.

This is the sort Lenin (or one of his kin) called useful idiots, they support Marxism.

Ideas are mind viruses.

If our society actually cared about preserving itself and preparing young people for a productive life, it would ban anyone from the field of education that thought totalitarianism was a good idea. It is an indication of a bad morals and judgement.

You nailed it. The left teaches their followers to be simple minded, and communism can be framed extremely simply

A history professor I had described marxism as the biggest, most violent and expensive temper tantrum ever thrown.

Marxism takes the seven deadly sins and binds them all together making a fascia, one of those axes with a handle made up of bound-together sticks that you see in coats-of-arms.

A most excellent and sound statement, caddie!!!!

It is easier to wallow in hatred forcing others to work for your needs and embrace everything satanic and ugly than work for goodness and responsibility.

Thanks BB. In Marxism, envy is sacred. So is murder. The more innocent the victims, the better.

Ironically Karl Marx’s ‘48er friends played a big role in founding the Republican Party. For over a decade Marx was even a featured writer for Greeley’s NY Tribune, the voice of the Whigs and GOP.
