I always figured that modern communism looked at the antebellum south as its model.
With the Party members living in the “Big House”, and the rest of the proles given enough to live on as long as they were productive. Oh, how hard the party members have to think to justify their life of ease in the “Big House”.
And of course the proles were relieved of all that thinking stuff, in return for their ration of red pottage.

Well it figures that you would figure that, judging from your posts.
Of course there is zero evidence supporting your imaginary history, whereas the actual historical evidence that we do have is that Marx and Engels despised the Confederate ‘slavocracy’ and were enthusiastic cheerleaders for Lincoln and the Union war effort.
It’s all through their writings on the American Civil War and available to anyone who bothers to read what they wrote. Evidently that doesn’t include you, or ‘Glenn Beck’s favorite historian’ for that matter, which could explain some of Beck’s goofier ideas.
