I don't care how "odd" it seems. You have to remember WHY Marx "supported" Lincoln was that he wanted a communist revolution and his theory (WRONG) was that such revolutions would occur in CAPITALIST countries. This alone tells you that even the father of communism knew the South was not "capitalist," but feudal.

But the Marxist supporters of slavery, most notably Calhoun and Fitzhugh, were very clear that in their system, not only blacks, but all men would become slaves.

Obviously you do not, nor do you seem to care much for historical accuracy.

Obviously you are unfamiliar with Marx's writings on the war then, as he clearly identified Lincoln as having ushered in the new stage of workers revolution IN the south.

Not that it would occur to you to actually read something before shooting your mouth off about it. We all saw how you handle situations of the sort earlier in this thread when you dismissed a journal you knew little about and an article you never read by calling them both names.
