A great source for the actual information on Marxism can be found at What is Marxism which provides a different view than the caricature of Marxism that is the current Republican Conservative fantasy.

I did provide a summary of the content at the link (literally hundreds of pages and articles there).
The summary is "The link I provided shows a different view of Marxism than the caricature being marketed by Faith and the US conservative Republicans".

to help keep Faith's panties from getting in a wad...
quote:source The Theories of Marxism like the Theory of Evolution and Germ Theory are tools to help thinking individuals overcome ignorance and advance towards a better life for all.

A Marxist philosopher and writer whose style is far more approachable and readable IMHO is Leon Trotsky. His writings have been collected at Collected Writings of Leon Trotsky.

Nor is the stuff Faith's sources are marketing even vaguely related to Marxism as expected.

Faith writes: American immigration law is not unjust. There is a big difference between immigration laws and immigration enforcement. The issue is that the implementation is unjust.

Faith writes: If the implementation is unjust then see what can be done to change it, stop screaming about Trump and go about legally changing what needs to be changed. Legally, with respect for law. This is exactly what people are doing. They are suing the Trump Administration and Trump himself using the US Legal institution called the Court System. And so far they are, Thank God, winning. But that still does not remove the pain and suffering the current crop of Brown Shirts are causing.

Right Wing Conservatism is an evil murderous ideology. Individual conservatives are not the ideology.
Islam isn't an ideology. At the moment it's mostly a reaction against American Imperialism.

Faith writes: When the real Fascists call Trump a fascist it's all over for America. You can say that all you want but that is simply a really stupid comment that totally ignores reality or any reason. Look at the definition and characteristics of Fascism.
quote: source You can't call the left-wing Fascist and be honest, nor is it possible to be a Marxist Fascist. Now there certainly is Christian Fascism and that is common in Conservative Christianity. Marxism and Communism were never Fascist. You can complain about Marxist characteristics in Socialism or today's Liberal movements or past Progressive movements but to then call them "real Fascist" is simply silly.

Neither comment really deserves much consideration and a thinking person would reject both immediately as simply worthless.

Just a few minor corrections.
1066 is one of the two significant historical dates (see 1066 and all that for the other date) but it is not when the Christian Church split between Orthodox and Roman Catholic. Not even close. But it is a significant date and so worth investing time to see just what did happen then.

Anyone that brings Satan into a discussion of Marxism or Capitalism or Communism or any other ideology should simply be laughed off the stage.

Phat writes: Marx messed things up for a lot of us in the world Do you think the workers should have any rights over how they are paid, treated, perform their duties or should the bosses make all those decisions? Guess what. The former is Marxist, the latter Capitalist.

Do you think that the rich manipulate the tax code and health benefits so they get breaks that the workers do not?
