Which opinions do you find to be Marxist? I am a rabid supporter of the free market and capitalism, so I doubt that you know of what you post. But I am open to reading your feedback. Just be clear instead of simply hurling accusations.
Anyway...it set me off like a stick of dynamite up my wazzoo...
All that stuff about Brzezinski was all unrelated to what we are talking about here..the crack he made about the US going after the orthodox Christians was a reference to various explosive rejections of protestants in the distant past that have absolutely nothing to do with US policy and never have. He like most readers of European thinking believes that the US is comprised of all protestants who wield all the power. Of course he is full of it.
However I do not reject the idea that a religious war could happen in this time or the future, largely because of the Muslims. But not the orthodox Christians who'd primary problem in Eastern Europe has been Muslims, not protestants.
My grandparents were Orthodox Christians, Orthodox Catholics when they immigrated. The black veil and all black and fully covered clothing..Don't see to much of it anymore..
But the idea as most of his ideas were all quasi intellectual garbage. IMO. Those opinions and many others came or stemmed from Marxist European intellectuals, (the home of Marx) and they as most Marxist writings, are specifically designed to pit group against group. for whatever purpose, but to a European they are the truth. Which is why they cannot and have not been able to get out of their own way for much of the last 150 years. Another example why America is exceptional.
The Communist Chinese believe it and they think that they have created free markets, and in fact will vigorously argue that they do. Oh how politics changes over time...
Marx, if he were alive today, would probably advocate the same.
In the US, your average progressive liberal is all for it, except for the evil banks and big corporations. So as long as they can be appointed to run those companies, it's OK by them...lol...(The Chinese communists love those things)
So the reality is that the American left is totally clueless but they think they are smarter than the average American who should look to them for leadership in all things important.
Frankly, I think all of your opinions go back to GWB and his father for getting the US into foreign entanglements that you see as the cause of all bad things and that we should be more isolationist.
That actually is a classical socialist idea.(now Libertarian) One that the Republican party once advocated, before Democrats went left and Republicans moved right.
Geopolitics has never been the American socialist expertise. Largely because American socialists are social reformers and not geopolitical thinkers. This is not the case for European socialists.
I think the reason is that American Socialists are really Marxist inspired communists. They can't say that, so they hide under the socialist or progressive label and only a few will call themselves socialist.
European Liberals are more akin to republicans here...and the European right winger is really out there in the far side zone of improbability called the right wing because the European socialist don't want to be associated with Hitler. When in reality there is a association. Hitler was certainly not a US style conservative. Hitler, was nationalist socialist...and he went to the same place socialism goes if unchecked.. Conservatives unchecked go to Theocracy.(sometimes) But all unchecked governments end up autocratic, It's the nature of the beast.
I am now officially rambling so I have to get some sleep.
