the only way to remind them is to remand them
My daughter had a teacher at a private “christian” school who promoted and defended communism to her class.....
We’re getting close to the tipping point where they have to admit that they are Marxists, so they need to turn him into a folk hero fast. I’m sure the ABC will give him a sitcom for the mid-season replacements. But, they’ll make him black and he’ll have a fabulous gay friend.
They don’t care. That was different. When people died in Russia, China, Germany, Cambodia, Vietnam, it was all because the right team wasn’t in charge.
In the U. S. they reason it can be done right for the first time.
Truth is though, it always starts with promises of benevolence, and winds up with tens of millions dead.
Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Ho Chi Minh (sp?), Hitler, Obama... the teams all start off with high hopes. And then...
This guy Obama thinks he was voted in God. He wasn’t, and he has all the fine leadership qualities of Barney Fife.
Last night on PBS News Hour they were bringing out the fact that Lincoln and Marx reached their zenith at about the same and were trying to intimate that Lincoln was kind of intrigued with Carl’s writings and musings, yada, yada, yada...
Yep, the left loves marx. They will never give up trying to give us communism. Even though it failed miserably, they still want it.
Mark Levin’s book really caps off the fact that utopian ideas are always going to be present whenever there are human beings, and once those ideas are instituted by elites, it creates a living hell for the society. Marx is the contribution of Western Civilization to that, as the Koran is from Islam, monarchy is from ancient times, and rule by theocrat everywhere from the Incas to Asia. Free people are the anomaly. Life is struggle. And here we are again.
They have mistaken Karl for Groucho.
Marxism is nothing less than organized crime. It really is not as complicated as Marx and others implied.
Marxism will end when its last advocate is pushing up the daisys and perhaps not even then as some new "Academic deep thinker" will come along and resurrect it.
The Left has gone mad (it's not called the zombie apocalypse for nothing). They are not going to listen to you reminding them of anything.
The great falling away has occurred. They are gone.
Get it?
The Left is trying to rehabilitate Karl Marx. Let´s remind them of the millions who died in his name
AND the BILLIONS he made miserable.. to this day..
There is a vitally important distinction between the idealism of the young Marx when he viewed the (very rough style of) capitalism in the UK of the 1840’s, and the tremendous damage communism wound up doing in the world (including perhaps a hundred million corpses). Also, many or most of the bad things Marx observed in 1840 no longer pertain in the world of business in 2013. Things such as child labor laws, worker safety regulations, minimum wage laws, advances in health care, and the right to organize labor unions if desired.... etc. All these things did not exist in Marx’s time. We can criticize them on various ground, yes, but they have contributed to a completely changed workplace. Marx was looking at a very, very different world and a much harsher life, with much harsher working conditions for many. His observations no longer apply very much at all. We need to explain these matters to the youth so that they won’t be suckered into a dangerous pro-communist ideology based on facts from over a century in the past.
Think about it, if little tiny Israel can have state of the art military then why can't Texas?
As Reagan said, the extreme left-wing read Marx, conservatives understand Marx.
Why is he surprised? The BBC is a leftwing org.
I knew a political science ass. prof who had a ‘Big Brother’-sized poster of Marx up on his wall. This guy was a caricature. Butt-hole lefty, wrong side of history. Everything that was wrong with that generation of spoiled brats.
A couple days ago I checked the entry for Marxism and Communism on Wikipedia.
It’s about 20 screens long and mentions various dictators like Chairman Mao.
NO MENTION of 80 million dead. No mention of anybody dead.
If they omit that tidbit I guess Communism looks good on paper.
