If everyone just understood how influential John Rawls is to the left, and what a big frigging fig leaf for communism his philosophy is, y'all would be shocked.

big frigging fig leaf for communism

Boom. Boom. Pow.

Is it not funny how humans continue to figure out ways to try to redistribute and take the property of others?

The first rule of Marxism is deception by the political class.

Absolutely right. If you want to understand the theory behind modern-day penchant for wealth redistribution, A Theory of Justice is where you must turn. It's a terrible book -- predicated on misguided assumptions about the nature of man. But perhaps the best condemnation came from the great political philosopher James Ceaser , who , when I asked him about Rawls, said that " tried to attend his lectures, but decided that no one had a right to bore him for two hours at a time."
