The Campus “Protesters” Are Nazis, Not Marxists

by Ed Mosca

I have seen and heard the campus “protesters” described as Marxists. They are NOT. They are actually their own manifestation of socialism (which I call Woke-Communism), but if the choice is limited to Marxist and Nazi … the far better descriptive is Nazi. I will explain why.

LGBT Groups Get Another Warning They’ll Ignore

by Steve MacDonald

We’ve tried to warn women, minorities, the LGBTQ folks, and, in fact, everyone the Democrats claim to support. You are being used and discarded. Women are already living that.

Marxist States Never “Wither Away” as Marx Predicted

by Op-Ed

In this week’s column, I’d like to continue discussing Graham Priest’s unusual book Capitalism: Its Nature and Its Replacement.

What Exactly is Marxism?

I overheard a conversation between two high school English teachers concerning one of their students’ written journals on class discussions and reflection.

Coming to a Public Library Near You: Marxist Summer Reading Programs!

The Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP) sounds like a completely harmless organization. It may, in fact, be assisting your local public library with your children’s or grandchildren’s summer activities by offering information, guidance, and materials, but don’t be deceived.

Some Clarity on What it Means When The Left Cries, Fascism!

by Steve MacDonald

I’m trudging through a book on Marxism and Fascism. It’s a good read. I’ve just been doing a lot of other things. Picking at it. But what I’ve gleaned so far reinforces details from other sources. Fascism isn’t just anything to the right of Socialism, which is everything.

by Steve MacDonald

Most of the progressives fomenting the Marxist revolution in America, or anywhere for that matter, understand what it is they are doing. They just assume the new world order will grant them carte blanche or, at the very least, have a use for them. Not true.

Prager U: Progressive: “The Progressive Income Tax: A Tale of Three Brothers”

by Skip

Or as I put it: From each according to his ability, to each according to his need… Oh WAIT! I’ve never said that at all! However, this IS the problem when you allow someone to convince you to “leave it to Government” to determine “fair”. It also shows what happens when people get selfish (and … Read more

Truth

by Steve MacDonald

The decline and fall of truth is, sadly, our legacy in the 21st Century. Science is defined by political rhetoric, and opposing the popular thing is labeled as misinformation or disinformation.

Oxfordshire Embraces English Law … With Chinese Characteristics

by Steve MacDonald

Depending on who you ask, Marxism must evolve from an agrarian to an industrial/capitalist ‘look’ before true Communism can get to work and create the utopia we’ve been promised. But Marxism is an economic fairy tale told by an idgit that always ends the same way.
