On paper Marxism might be great, but in practice it fails miserable every single time. Like past generation, you are more than willing to believe that somehow it will work now.
Trying to do the same thing over and over expecting different results.
There are just some laws of human nature that will never change, no matter how much you wish it to.
Being an optimist I'll point out how it is the other half who will believe complete BS, while pretending to understand it.
Even on paper it doesn't work, which is why it can't work in practice.
I do. The Democrats and the republicans swapped camps in 1964 when LBJ signed Civil rights legislation. Google "Southern Strategy" for details. Harry Dent and Strom Thurmond led the Southern Democrats over to the republican side of the aisle. Harry trained Lee Atwater who trained KKKarl Rove. Lee called his opponents when he was dying from a brain tumor to apologize to them.
The democrats before and during the Civil War were the racists, conservative slave owners, the Confederates - the Alt-right of their day.

What is the Party of Lincoln?
I can't believe so many people are so easily told to believe such utter nonsense, and they actually share it with us. Oh man, this is so sad.
Lincoln was a republican then. Today he would be called a "Democrat".
Also, if you know your history, you know that central market planning is a joke, and a "dictatorship of the proletariat" cannot overcome the forces of economics. Every so-called communist state has amounted to some form of state-capitalism.

Prove it!
The way welfare has become the new slavery I'd say the Dems are still the masta's. They ignore Federal law just as the Confederates did. California progressives are actively trying to secede, just as the Confederates did.
I'm sorry, but you have been deluded into believe a lie. Just because it makes you feel warm and fuzzy doesn't make it the truth.

Ask yourself why?
I already did. See post #192, and google "Southern Strategy", which was Nixon's plan to appeal to the racist instincts of the republicans to win their votes. Kevin Phillips is commonly thought to have authored it, but it was actually Harry Dent's idea. Kevin was just the PR man for it.
"Class, if those people in Washington tell you to punch an old lady in the face and you don't, you're the bad guy."
I rest my case. You never had either course.
