“Yes, but where did it specify that it was Marxism?”
A statement regarding the collective ownership of the country and the government as fair allocator of the country’s resources is about as pure a statement of Marxism as there can be.
It ranks right up there with “from each according to his ability to each according to his means”, which also doesn’t specify that it is Marxism, but which in fact is.
If you cannot spot the Marxism inherent this statement from the article:
“The idea that people utilizing their freedom of association to pool resources in order to influence politics is somehow corruptive of the political process stems from the unspoken idea that the country is one big commons owned collectively by us all and the government’s purpose is to decide how to fairly allocate the commons.”
then your political education is sorely deficient. The author maintains that criticism of political parties “stems from”, originates from, this particular Marxist analysis of society. And in fact he names his blog “The Karl Marx Treatment Center” which should have been your first clue that he sees the world in contrast to Marxism.
“The idea that people utilizing their freedom of association to pool resources in order to influence politics is somehow corruptive of the political process stems from the unspoken idea that the country is one big commons owned collectively by us all and the government’s purpose is to decide how to fairly allocate the commons.”
Nonsense. The suspicion that political parties would corrupt government didn’t originate with Marxism, it’s something that American founders worried about before they even ratified the Constitution.
When it didn’t specify that it originated from Marxism.
Try reading something a few times before assuming it specified something when it did not.
Do you understand that people’s cube is a satire site?
Please refrain from making personal attacks over trivial details, they are much larger issues we need to confront these days.
