“And Marxism’s biggest defenders in 2013 are the middle class.”
This is a a dubious claim. I would contend that Marxist rhetoric and dogma are emitting from the governmental and media elites. These flawed notions are embraced by “low information voters”, some of whom are indeed middle class as you claim, but many are also part of a massive and expanding “underclass.”
There is still a gigantic number of working Americans who are small business owners, entrpreneurs, professionals, and blue collar employees who want no part of Marxism in any form. Don’t tar them all with that tag.
Most of the people I argue politics with in my day to day affairs are members of the middle class (and I live in a red state.)
