A richly informative article detailing the internal contradictions and vicious presuppositions of Marxist/socialist theory and practice.

Read it twice.

I can't believe I was awed by this idiology when I was younger in University or maybe it was that beautiful blonde two seats on the right from the front row that got me to class!!!

What stayed with me was how marxism and it's adherents would manipulate history, economics and all other disciplines in order to advance their idiology. It is amazing how billions were and are still being duped!

[snarks_when_bored]

Must've been the blonde...

[Bombardier]

Very intriguing. Nicely details the left's sheer hypocrisy and malignancy.

[snarks_when_bored]

Indeed.

It is precisely the mechanics of this moral elitism that produces a superstructure of political elitism, the coercive rule of self-appointed experts, which is what every socialist government to date has been. What the Left has always condemned "capitalism" for most profoundly is its legal egalitarianism, its "formal equality" -- that is, its granting of political equality to moral unequals. In such a society, a Catharine MacKinnon has no more power than anyone else to censor others. Would-be Lenins and Maos and Castros are reduced to the Man on the Street. Each citizen controls his own property, and no cete of socialists is authorized to redistribute that wealth according to any scheme.

And this ladies & gents summerizes the fundamental problem with the democratic party. Elitists to the core addicted to power and denyers of true egalitarianism (he equality of opportunity for all through the ownership of property).

Liberalism (socialism) is a mental DISEASE! It is surely a cancer upon anyone's society.

One thing Barry touches on but did not slice as deeply into as his beautiful dissection of feminazism, is that the proponents of political correctness (Prof. Fish[face] and his ilk, or make that 'ick' in the spirit of the thread) have found that their profound enchantment with advanced Marxist literary deconstructionism has been turned around on them in the past five years, neatly eviscerating the New Left and chasing them from power.

I'll post this before somebody else does:

"Many of you are well enough off that ... the tax cuts may have helped you," Sen. [Hillary] Clinton said. "We're saying that for America to get back on track, we're probably going to cut that short and not give it to you. We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good."

Fits the passage you quoted, huh, bubman?

Who needs highly paid professors of Marxist Literary Theory if the cleaning staff is able to teach the courses?

A richly informative article detailing the internal contradictions and vicious presuppositions of Marxist/socialist theory and practice.

I saw the contradictions way back when, EVEN as a dumber-than-dumb blonde 20-year-old.

I am now appalled at three things:
1. Marx's total lack of knowledge about human nature, behavior and history;
2. his unmitigated arrogance; and,
3. people's acceptance of his basically and hopelessly flawed constructions.

I should've given a reference for the Hillary Clinton quote:

San Francisco rolls out the red carpet for the Clintons

Marx sat in the British Library all day every day, dreaming about being able to tell everybody what to do. He wrote his fantasies down and bequeathed almost limitless horror to later generations.

The Memory hole is no more!

The internet has rendered it obsolete. These self-righteous arses will have for ever and ever a paper trail that will be available for all to see. They will be judged by who they really are. The end of the MSM is near. They will not be able to hide who they really are no more.

Mark for the re-read...

Marxian and Marxianity--these new words sum up and expose a certain reality...

Insightful and revealing. Bookmarking to excerpt for my personal files.
