And they tell us that “everyone is patriotic,” or “Don’t question my patriotism.”
The left’s theory of economics is, in a word, theft. That is all they know. They know nothing about the production of wealth.

Your argument is oversimplistic and I believe wrong.
Slavery was indeed a caste system, but when it was abolished, that caste system didn't go away, it simply got applied to everyone else in the nation who was not part of the rich elite in the northeast.
You know, they same corrupt bastards still running Washington DC today.

“..believes it is “foolish” to think the United States’ wealth was “justly earned,..”
That is what communists proclaim.

So redistribution of wealth is always justified: I can steal your wealth because you stole it. And, by the way, regarding that "to each according to their need" thing, we should let Mandela decide for us just what our needs are.
The fact his parents named him after a black Marxist suggests his entire life experience to present qualifies him to do so.
Rapidly coming to a town near you.

It’s too bad the MSM give him a platform. History is strewn with the wreckage of his kind of social reforms.

A small number of Southern whites became very wealthy as a result of forced labor by their slaves on their plantations, but a lot of that wealth was destroyed in the Civil War. And here is something you apparently don't know. Southern slavery made Northeaster whites more wealth than it did for the Southern plantation owners who actually ran the slavery.
The numbers I have seen indicate 60% of all slave production ended up in the pockets of Northeastern "robber barons" and Washington DC.
Once you understand that this is true, you begin to see a light on why the "North" was so adamant about keeping the South in the Union.
My recollection is that Southern slavery produced between 5oo and 700 million per year going into Northern pockets.

And black folks wonder why some white folks don’t want to accept them into society.

Speak for yourself jerk. Millions of us out here work and have worked, earning honestly and adding wrinkles and arthritis as a result.

Liberals think capitalism is immoral to begin with. They approve, however, of a system that beats, tortures, murders and starves populations into submission, which is invariably what socialism resorts to.

Certainly applies where much of Congress is concerned. Besides, every time we buy an Apple gadget we contribute to slave labor.

As Randy Newman put it...
Now your northern n*****’s a negro
You see he’s got his dignity
Down here we’re too ignorant to realize
That the North has set the n***** free
Yes he’s free to be put in a cage
In Harlem in New York City
And he’s free to be put in a cage
On the South Side of Chicago
And the West Side
And he’s free to be put in a cage
In Hough in Cleveland
And he’s free to be put in a cage
In East St. Louis
And he’s free to be put in a cage
In Fillmore in San Francisco
And he’s free to be put in a cage
In Roxbury in Boston
They’re gatherin’ ‘em up from miles around
Keepin’ the n*****s down

I said to myself, "This must be how the socialists view things, and I cannot help but feel this message can resonate with some people."
Over 70% of millennials believe all millionaires inherited their worth! But the fact is, less than 3% of all millionaires inherited their wealth! Sadly, over 50% of baby boomers believe this same myth - millionaires all inherited their wealth.
When you realize how many people think that most rich people simply woke up one day rich, you see why people may think the government (or someone) should "redistribute" that wealth.
