I present Calhoun's own words, which you "lovers of the Constitution" manage to ignore every time you're confronted with them. He not only wanted slavery, he insisted that there be permitted NO CRITICISM of slavery, a radical denial of free speech that "lovers of the Constitution" decry when they see it applied to "gay" issues in Canada---but with the old Marx of the Master Class, it was perfectly ok.

He writes the second worst tariff in American history, then complains when it's passed---called on his infantile bluff.

He advocates the Labor Theory of Value, which you are apparently utterly incapable of grasping, but which Owen, Marx, and Lenin all embraced as THE essential element of socialism and communism. Calhoun NEVER backed off of this---and thoroughly was supported by Fitzhugh.

Yeah, I've read ABSORBED, AND REJECTED this pre-Marxist Marxist destroyer of free speech. How about you?
