I could even grudgingly have a little respect for the Democrats if they truly were Marxists. Then, they would just be misguided. The Democrats aren’t Marxists. They throw out enough socialism to win the votes of the low information voters. Is Nancy Pelosi a Marxist? Is Harry Reid a Marxist? Is Max Baucus a Marxist? There is absolutely no evidence that the leaders of the Democrat party are Marxists. So, if it’s not ideology that motivates them to seek these elected jobs, then what is it? Look at the size of the government treasuries. That’s where the big money is. Who is going to miss a few billion off those budgets? The leaders of the Democrat party are Con Men.....Grifters........thieves. The leaders of the Democrat party are nothing more than loud-mouthed bullies out to enrich themselves from the taxpayers.
If you look at the leaders of communist/marxist nations, few if any have been willing to live under the very form of government they support (supports them). Actually the same can be said for a fairly wide cross segment of society in those nations to varying degrees.
I wouldn’t be so quick to give the democrat leadership a pass on being marxist because they’re no more or less marxist than any other self described marxist leader.
Marxism is for the little people.
