Yep I never could of imagined people in the USA embracing Karl Marx. That was my mistake. I thought all I had to do is expose the fact that Obama is a communist. WRONG. They like it. The majority now thinks capitalism and free markets and individualism are terrible. They want security of the government nanny...communism.
Public school system thinks Karl is a swell guy and teach it that way. When was the last time Communism was a big issue in America? 1990? So you have to be at least 36 or so to remember Communism first hand.
I like to play a game with the 30 somethings and ask them what they know about Communism ... Best they muster is blank stare. Liberals like that.
The richer we became as a country the more spoiled we became. Poverty in this country amounts to big screen TV's a house and being chronically over weight (nobodies starving). The truth is poverty is now defined as one person having more than another and that just can not be in the wonderfully mediocre world of Stalin. Instead we suppress individuality at least when it comes to accomplishment in any real sense. To satisfy the need for individuality the state will still allow you to pierce body parts, deform your body and speak out against political enemies of the party.
