Exactly!!!!!

Marxism relies on class envy and class warfare to inspire individuals to take action against their fellow citizens who they perceive are better off (richer).

The vile component is rather than inspire everyone to achieve like those above you, Marxism encourages ripping those above you down to your level so everyone is equal. When guided by the iron hand of government this approach works so well that once everyone is equally miserable, poor, and addicted to the narcotic of government, there are no more rich villains responsible for the plight of the poor to use as an inspirational lightening rod.

Everyone is then left with no dreams, aspirations, or desire to achieve, and that is when the drab olive/brown colored clothing comes out and people begin looking forward to the end of their miserable existence.

Its worse than that.

It brainwashes people into believing that they're unable to do anything. It makes people think that to succeed you need either a natural talent they don't have, or you need to know someone, etc. It convinces people to not even try because they're just going to fail.

Leftist governments move in like a specter. They destroy your life so that they can take you under their protection / control. The government becomes like an abusive husband who beats his dependent wife. It makes people turn themselves into sheep, and tells them that its for their own good.

Tragic. Just freaking tragic.

Marxism and Communism can only be sold to stupid people. That is why there is such a campaign to malign those who speak the truth. This is going on big time here in America today.

Only a stupid person would buy into the claptrap of political dominance.

We're talking about seriously deluded people though ... look at all the idiots who think liberalism will lead to a better life. They think the end justifies the means... pure lack of character ... how can that produce virtue?

Ya gotta be stupid to buy that.

My favorite Marxisms.....

I have had a perfectly wonderful evening, but this wasn't it.

I don't care to belong to a club that accepts people like me as members.

Humor is reason gone mad.

Behind every successful man is a woman, behind her is his wife.

I must confess, I was born at a very early age.

I was married by a judge. I should have asked for a jury.

LOL!!! You are quoting the only Marxists I like.

My is; "I have half a mind to join a club and hit you over the head with it."

That would be the 47% who still support Obama.

They may eventually wake-up, but it may be in tan-pajamas wearing pointy little hats.

Marxism is an ideal that must be wiped from existance. As long as it exists and fools embrace it's philosiphy of a "paradise" that will never come, America is in constant danger. I long for the anti-commie days of Reagan. Many would call my stance hatred. And they'd be absolutely right, but I also see it as love, love for my country and the way of life I was born with. Love for what I've been taught and raised to believe in. Love for my family and my fellow man, and that's why I despise communism.

Marxism is the religion introduced by the serpent in the Garden of Eden: the religion where man sees himself as God. If you want to learn more about it, follow Obama closely.

Serpent in the Garden --> Satan's Squatting Imp (SSI) --> Obowamama = Socialist + Commie + Liberal + SnakeOil Salesman + Narcissist + LIAR + Empty Suite + Anti-America
