Why is America starting to embrace Marxism? This has been TRIED in Russia, China, Cuba, Venezuela, and many other countries around the world. None of them are super powers or even the top ten. So what gives?
We saw the rise of this idea from our last president which was in office for 8 years. This systematic and long 8 years changed the narrative in schools, media and the politics. The scary part is, it could usher in other deplorable ideologies that would not be good for the United States.
Obama-Marx quotes
A system of economic, social, and political philosophy based on ideas that view social change in terms of economic factors.
Under Marxism, outdated class structures were supposed to be overthrown with force (revolution) instead of being replaced through patient modification. It held that as capitalism has succeeded feudalism, it too will be removed by a dictatorship of the workers (proletariat) called socialism, followed quickly and inevitably by a classless society which governs itself without a governing class or structure.
From the New York Post:
Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors said in a newly surfaced video from 2015 that she and her fellow organizers are “trained Marxists” – making clear their movement’s ideological foundation, according to a report.
Cullors, 36, was the protégé of Eric Mann, former agitator of the Weather Underground domestic terror organization, and spent years absorbing the Marxist-Leninist ideology that shaped her worldview, Breitbart News reported.
“The first thing, I think, is that we actually do have an ideological frame. Myself and Alicia in particular are trained organizers,” she said, referring to BLM co-founder Alicia Garza.
“We are trained Marxists. We are super-versed on, sort of, ideological theories. And I think that what we really tried to do is build a movement that could be utilized by many, many black folk,” Cullors added in the interview with Jared Ball of The Real News Network.
