I’m not sure if they’ve got guillotine logos made up yet, but a coalition of groups easily identified as Marxists has formed a coven of free-market-hating hucksters looking to impose a 3% wealth tax on Vermont’s excessively successful (as defined by the thieves).

The “End Point” of DIE Meets Critical Race Theory in Progressive Politics
California Gov Gavin “Hair Gel” Newsom (with that winsome smile and those You can trust me, I’m not like the others” eyes) just did this after the passing of Dianne “I’d take all the guns if I had the votes” Feinstein.
Marxist States Never “Wither Away” as Marx Predicted
In this week’s column, I’d like to continue discussing Graham Priest’s unusual book Capitalism: Its Nature and Its Replacement. Priest uses ideas he gets from Marxism and Buddhism to criticize capitalism. Last week, I said that Priest has interesting things to say about Marxism but I avoided Buddhism.
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. The student had voiced in writing pro-Trump remarks decrying socialist and Marxist ideologies that he claimed were virulent in American political ideologies.
Democrat Words Don’t Mean What You Think …
Like con men everywhere, leftists/Marxists/Democrat leaders (“Democrats”) often use commonly understood benign-sounding words to deceive people. Examples:
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!
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.
Another Anti-Capitalist Communitarian Cafe Goes Out of Business
If you didn’t know, I have extensive experience with how razor-thin the margins are in the restaurant business. While the closure of this communitarian cafe is unfortunate, it serves as a reminder of the business risks involved in running a café.
Cutting Sports or Band from Public Schools Used to Be Bad, Now It’s Social Justice
Government-run education, like everything else with that designation, wastes vast sums of money for negligible output. And cutting corners is a no-go if it means fewer union teachers, no matter what the cuts.
Stop the Marxist Takeover of Our Libraries
I had a guest on my Immigrants Speak weekly show a few days ago: Xi Van Fleet, who has appeared previously on Fox News calling out how Critical Race Theory is being used to divide American citizens; much like how Mao used Critical Class Theory.
Does “Bill Gates” Know He is Now “The Government’s” Bitch?
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”
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
Oxfordshire Embraces English Law … With Chinese Characteristics
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.
Teaching White Supremacy: Part 1
Donald Yacavone is a self-described scholar and lifetime associate of African American studies at Harvard University. He visited the Norwich Bookstore last week to speak about his new book “Teaching White Supremacy”: America’s Democratic Ordeal and the Forging of Our National Identity”. Having seen the announcement on the Hanover Listserv, I was struck by this … Read more
A Quick Word about The Democrat Party’s Fascism
In the late 50s into the 60s, Mao’s Communist China was convinced that the USSR had devolved into some pro-Bourgeoisie fascism. It was a significant point of disagreement. All it was was something other than Mao’s Marxism, and that interpretation is accurate for everything on the political left.
A Resolution to Declare Marxism a Religion
What if I told you there was a silver bullet to kill Wokeism? You’d say I was crazy, right? There couldn’t possibly be such a thing. It’s far too complicated, nebulous, and ingrained. But, nevertheless, that I what I’m telling you – and I’m telling you that I’ve forged it already. The idea is simple … Read more
From the Mouth of a Marxist – Property is Racist! ‘cuz Slavery!
Let’s say you believe that everything belongs to the State. Nothing you do with yourself nor the product of any labor can ever belong to the person who did the work. Not just that you didn’t build it, but you couldn’t. Now consider how the political party pushing those ideas had made it impossible for people of color to own anything.
Montpelier: Counter-Woke Firebrand Dr. James Lindsay and Recent First Amendment Champion Nick Merriweather
The banquet hall at the Capitol Plaza & Conference center was nearly full for the 6 pm speaking session featuring counter-woke firebrand Dr. James Lindsay and recent First Amendment champion Nick Merriweather. Drinks and somewhat lively conversation filled the air as concerned parties shared stories and ideas in anticipation of the evening’s presenters. One Burlington … Read more
The Worst Relationship the World has Ever Known
If you have ever had any sort of relationship with anyone, you ought to have a keen sense (unless you are an obsessive naval gazer) that nothing about socialism could ever possibly work.
