Karl Marx: “The theory of Communism may be summed up in one sentence: Abolish all private property.” Recent Breitbart headline: “Zohran Mamdanin Pushes for ‘Abolition of Private Property’” Well, of course, the commies are already here; Marxism dominates the Democratic Party now, so Mamdani’s call for the abolition of private property is not surprising in the least. But that’s just my conclusion. Let me share with you some quotes from Karl Marx, and then you can decide if, or to what extent, his communist theory has infiltrated and/or taken over the Democratic Party. All the quotes below are from Marx....

A resurfaced clip of Zohran Mamdani explaining how when he runs out of money—because he’s decided to quit his job—he’ll just live off his parents is going viral: ... He’s got absolutely no qualms about producing nothing, being unemployed, and living off of someone else—which is to say he’s just your average socialist/communist. Recall that Karl Marx lived off of handouts from Freidrich Engels, and was once so broke that he left his wife to pawn his last pair of pants instead of just getting a job to support his family (walking around in his skivvies for who knows who...

Leftist theologian attacks late pontiffMUNICH (ChurchMilitant.com) - A Marxist philosopher and dissident ex-priest is denigrating the theological legacy of Pope Benedict XVI. On Tuesday, the German magazine Publik-Forum published an article by Brazilian Liberation Theology proponent Leonardo Boff, who shared his Marxist perception of the late Pontiff. Boff declared that Benedict "proved to be the enemy of the friends of the poor." He berated the pope emeritus for focusing too heavily on traditional theology and not enthusiastically embracing Marxist theory. The laicized Brazilian has a long history of conflicts with Pope Benedict XVI, going back decades to when Benedict was...

Several major cities have canceled Cinco de Mayo celebrations because of increasing fears over President Donald Trump's crackdown on immigration.Why It Matters Cinco de Mayo is a Mexican holiday that commemorates Mexico's victory over Napoleon III's French army in the Battle of Puebla in 1862. It has become a significant celebration of Mexican culture and heritage in the United States. Trump, who returned to office in January, has vowed to carry out the largest mass deportation program in U.S. history, and his hard-line immigration crackdown has sparked fear within migrant communities. In Chicago, the annual Cinco de Mayo parade, which...

CINCO DE MAYO Cinco De Mayo's deeply rooted history in the Franco-Mexican War influenced Mexican-Mexican American communities in the early years of the American Civil War. In the early 1860s, as the Civil War erupted, these communities took up the banner of the Cinco De Mayo celebration as a way to commemorate the cause of freedom and democracy. Today, in the United States, Americans celebrate Mexican-American heritage and pride annually on May 5th. #CincodeMayo Cinco de Mayo is Spanish for “fifth of May.” On June 7, 2005, the United States Congress issued a Concurrent Resolution. The resolution invited the President...

Somehow, in today’s upside-down world, the radicalized left has decided that violent gang members are the new underdogs they need to defend. Instead of standing up for law-abiding American citizens, they’ve gone all-in on protecting the worst of the worst—drug traffickers, sex offenders, murderers, and now, even foreign-backed gangbangers. And while they’re busy shedding tears for MS-13 and waving in cartel thugs at the border, everyday Americans are being thrown to the wolves. But now we’ve reached a whole new level of disturbing. A new report from Fox News has dropped—and every single American should be talking about it. This...

An £18,000,000 plan to redevelop Highgate Cemetery, the final resting places of Karl Marx and George Michael, has divided local residents. The graves of Marx and Michael are among those currently ‘at risk’ of damage from falling ash trees, which have been decaying due to longstanding disease and drainage issues at the famous cemetery. Ash dieback, a fungal disease that could eventually kill up to 80% of ash trees across the UK, has seen trees topple in the cemetery and forced many more to be cut down. Marx’s grave is surrounded by ash trees, whereas George Michael’s burial spot lies...

Sheinbaum, 61, is poised to make history as Mexico’s first female president and first Jewish head of state. Polls a week before Mexico’s election show her enjoying a wide lead over the next candidate, the conservative entrepreneur Xóchitl Gálvez. Still, after nearly a quarter-century in the public eye, she remains an enigma, known mainly as the low-key protégé of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, the charismatic leader known as AMLO. AMLO doesn’t speak English and dislikes traveling abroad. Sheinbaum did postdoctoral research at the University of California at Berkeley; her sister and daughter live in the United States. The president,...

Chris and Eric Weinstein discuss Kamala Harris’ repeated phrase. Where does this phrase come from and are we under estimating Kamala Harris?

There's a line in Marx where...sometimes you hear certain phrases Like "A World to Win" AOC uses the phrase We Have A World to Win which comes from the end of the communist manifest originally written in German.

While Hitler and Mussolini both expressed their opposition to and hatred of “Marxists,” they nevertheless embraced a leftism that was only marginally different from that embraced by Lenin and Stalin. In light of recent events and discussions attempting to rehabilitate the historical reputation of Germany’s Nazis, it might be worthwhile to re-examine the foundations of the ideology that underpinned National Socialism and its close cousin fascism. Those who embrace the revisionism that excuses the Nazis’ crimes appear to believe that by doing so, they are defending themselves and their ideological brethren from unfair and ahistorical attacks by the broader left....

We all know Karl Marx (1818—1883) taught devilish doctrines like communism, but is there any evidence he was possessed? Paul Kengor has amassed a substantial amount of historical and biographical evidence that this may have been the case.In The Devil and Karl Marx, Kengor analyzes’ Marx’s own writings, his poetry, a demonic-style play, and examines the much-neglected unflattering (to say the least) behaviors and actions of the father of communism. Kengor also mentions names of current Marxist influencers. An exceptionally detailed treatment of one of the main diseases our culture suffers from.

If you want to know where antisemitism in leftism comes from, Karl Marx wrote an essay in 1843 called On the Jewish Question, and published it the following year I'll post some quotes so you can get an idea of what he says: Money is the jealous god of Israel, in face of which no other god may exist... The god of the Jews has become secularized and has become the god of the world. The bill of exchange is the real god of the Jew. His god is only an illusory bill of exchange.What is the secular basis of...

A Colorado teen who was arrested last month for allegedly planning to commit a mass shooting at her former middle school owned a copy of “The Communist Manifesto” — and blasted former President Donald Trump as a “con man” in her own writings, authorities said. Lilly Whitworth, 19, wrote a detailed manifesto and possessed floor plans of her intended target before she was busted on March 31 for making threats to various schools, including Timberview Middle School, which she once attended, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by news station KRDO. She also owned a copy of “The Communist Manifesto”...

The top Democrat on the Senate Banking Committee blasted Republicans on Thursday for “vile attacks” on President Biden’s pick intended to make her a “Marxist boogeyman.” Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), chairman of the Banking panel, ripped Republicans for efforts to “degrade” the confirmation process for Saule Omarova, who Biden nominated to lead the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). Omarova, a law professor at Cornell University, was born and raised in the former Soviet republic of Kazakhstan before emigrating to the U.S. While she has been a U.S. citizen since 2005 and served in the George W. Bush...

Biden’s banking watchdog pick Saule Omarova must turn over her thesis on Karl Marx SOURCE — FOX BUSINESS Senator Pat Toomey wants to read Cornell University professor Saula Omarova’s thesis on Karl Marx, since Omarova became President Biden’s pick to lead the office of Comptroller of the Currency.

Toomey, the ranking member on the Senate Banking Committee, sent a letter to...

Former Walmart executive and e-commerce billionaire Marc Lore wants to build the world’s first woke city from scratch — somewhere in the US. Lore last week unveiled plans for his utopia, called Telosa, from the ancient Greek word Telos, meaning "highest purpose." "The mission of Telosa is to create a more equitable, sustainable future. That’s our North Star," Lore said in a promotional video. "We are going to be the most open, the most fair and the most inclusive city in the world." Key to the city’s plans is Lore’s economic vision, called "Equitism," in which the land upon which...

China President Xi Jinping last week congratulated the World Symposium for Marxist Political Parties, saying China stands ready to help the cause of human progress and community building. His new partners in Washington are actively following his call with ungodly spending, failure to secure borders, laws through executive fiat. All part of the left’s version of a new world order theocracy with big government grabbing the role of “the new god.” And here is the kicker, it’s all in the name of Utopia! Human-made heaven on earth. In researching my new book, To Hell with Karl Marx (not a sprint...

President Joe Biden celebrated Cinco de Mayo Wednesday by traveling to a Mexican restaurant in Washington, D.C., for tacos. Biden traveled from the White House via his motorcade to the Taqueria Las Gemelas restaurant, owned by Mexican immigrants to the United States, and ordered tacos.
