Marxism and communism are two different things.
You are absolutely correct. Marxism is the bastard child of communism.


New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

And what makes you an expert on Mark Levin? Have you studied the man? Interviewed him? What facts do you base your opinion on?
What makes Mark Levin an expert on Marxism. Is he a Marxist?


Admitting you have a problem is the second step. The first step is finding a problem you really enjoy.

This is really strange. I'm working turned about the stresses on the current supply chain in our country because capitalism seems to be working so well, my clients are having problems getting things like lumber and appliances.
Which was caused by the totalitarian like shutdowns. And then, enhanced by giving the populace money to stay home even after the vaccine had been rolled out.

I have entry level positions that start at 700.00 per week. Do you think I can fill them when folks are getting 600.00 in Michigan right now to stay home? Nope! Kinda hard to up production, or even maintain, when a lot of people don't have a need to work. Old Karl would have loved it. American Marxism.
And we wonder why the country called USSR is no longer around as they used the Marxism form to govern.
Marxism and communism are two different things.
I never said communism was Marxism. But the country USSR used Marxism ideology to govern their economics. How did that work out? Hmm

Mark Levin is selling books. He’s not interested in truth or policy or improving anything. He’s in it for money and himself. The country could burn down for all he cares.
And what makes you an expert on Mark Levin? Have you studied the man? Interviewed him? What facts do you base your opinion on?
Let’s face facts here... these talkers say the most incendiary things they can find because it gets people to listen. They don’t advocate for new policies or say what they think should be done to make things better in the way they see things being better than they are now. They demonize the other side with slurs that distort and outright fabricate their opponents positions. None of these are the actions of an honest person who cares a whit about society or the country moving forward. It’s a con and a grift.

No matter how much he screeches, the proposals being put forth by the Biden administration and the Democrats are not socialism, communism and most certainly not Marxism. The folks that believe it is don’t understand what those systems entail. To get to socialism all companies have to be owned or controlled by the government for starters. Nobody is proposing that. Communism requires the means of production and all resources to be owned by the state. For god sakes we are nowhere near either and not headed that way. Go ahead and be gullible and easily scared by snake oil salesman if you must but it’s holding us back as a country. Even reasonable proposals can’t get through because of these asshats.

The world's greatest and most knowledgeable expert on Marxism is no longer with us. He died in 1883.

In the years hence, his thoughts and ideals have been corrupted for corrupt political purposes.

I form pretty quick opinions about people who sell hate and fear. Levin seems to do his best to sell as much of both as he can fit into each show.

Bryce you really are looking for libertarianism. I think you might find another country. It kills me when conservatives can manage to find a way to become victims in a really hot economy just because the wrong guy is in office

Mark Levin is a carnival barker that shouts about Marxism and "Communist China" and "Barack Hussein Obama" because it scares the dopey rubes that listen to him and shell out money for the crap he peddles.

Exactly. No measurable benefit comes from his schtick.
