This is blatantly untrue.

The fixes for social justice are varied, but certainly are not "ALL Marxist." Ensuring that citizens have the right to vote isn't Marxism. Ensuring that citizens receive equal treatment from law enforcement isn't Marxism. The basis for social justice is that "All men are created equal." I think that assertion should ring a bell. Life isn't fair. We all know that. But social justice warriors only want the government not to implement policies that reinforce the unfair. Social justice warriors only want the US government to promote equality, justice and freedom. Isn't that what the US government was created to do?

You can't bring yourself to realize the constant cries of COMMUNISTS! is little more than paranoia. Or do you type your posts on a computer made in a non-communist country as well as source all your consumer goods from the same?

We went to war in Vietnam to fight COMMIES! , now we trade with them.

We used to term China the Red Menace! and we all know what our trade status is with them.

WHY is it we spend so much $$$ with these great 'threats'?

As I said, the concept of 'social justice' goes back as far as Aristotle so you claim "It is Marxist ideology." makes little sense.

Democrats = Marxist-socialists = "progressives." Out of the same mold as communists. All are "collectivists."

Can't bring yourself to the reality that social justice is a concept talked about long before Marxism was a glint in Karl's (or Groucho's) eye

People are put down for saying America first. If you do you are a hater. Say you want laws followed,and you are a hater .

Americans are sick of our flag being disrespected. Who is behind the taking down of America? Anyone ever think about who wants us to hate our flag,our history, our sovereignty,our borders,our laws?

If you really want to know who it is,take a look at the Communist party. They are gaining ground on our campuses,in the minds of our young people and in our media.

Big government, control of our media,support for anti-American propaganda is the evidence. It is coming under the false guise of disliking our president. It is a planned event. BLM is also an anti-American attack on our laws protecting thugs who break our laws and are fighting against authority.

The Communist website is in lock step with the democrats. So easily led.

Communist Party USA – cpusa.org

Today the Communist party is leading many groups with a hatefest for America. Many see how America is being ripped to shreds.
Democrats are nothing like communists. Democrats are a center right party. They are pro war pro corporate bailouts pro private property. They only slight left wing thing they do is lgbt stuff and universal healthcare.

For those that believe that communism is not a concern.......

I just dare you to have a look at this little article from the Army Times, yesterday.

West Point responds to tweets of cadet with Che Guevara tee under uniform

Article is complete with picture tweeted, and the words "communisim will win" written under his cap.

This is our army today.

If you still believe communism is not alive and well, and posing a threat to our way of life, you are either.......

A) a willful communist apologist, or

B) what the communists refer to as the "useful idiot"

Either way, you are part of the problem.

Do you think people wearing flag clothing, like bathing suits, speedos, T shirts....whatever... are being disrespectful or do you think that's ok.

Stuff like this is what put Trump in the White House. If it keeps happening, this would secure Trump another term.

At least they're being respectful. Groups like Antifa and Black Lives Matter burn the flag to disrespect it.
