May he churn in hell looking up at the 100,000,000 people murdered within 70 years by his ideology.
Every time a Marxist dies, an angel gets its’ wings.
Yeah, the words eminent and Marxist should never be used in the same sentence.
should read:
There, that's better.
Let’s hope he died painfully and without dignity as do so many in Britain’s OsamaObamaCare hospitals.My favorite recent story is about an older person who died of dehydration in one of their hospitals.I guess they have death panels there,too.
You cannot be a Marxist and have clue about history. Not really, because it’s all filtered through the fictional construct of “dialectical materialism” and an evil-eye prism of class warfare which won’t allow any inconvenient facts to interfere that might cause Marxism to appear in college textbooks as ridiculous, self-contradictory and stupid as it is in reality.
Some newspapers identify Hobsbawm as just some vanilla socialist.
Let’s remember that this monster had no qualms about the mass murder of millions if would serve to bring about the communist Utopia of his dreams. He said as much in an interview a while back.
Dick Morris has an excellent video on it: http://www.dickmorris.com/how-we-almost-had-a-communist-president-dick-morris-tv-history-video/
One note, Wallace was a member of the Progressive Party and also endorsed by the Communist Party of that time.
Isn't it interesting that Obama is such a Progressive these days and Chavez is endorsing him.
So long, lefty! Tell Marx and the devil hello for us.
Hogsspawn wasn’t just a Marxist he was an unrepentant Stalinist even after the Russians rejected Stalin.
I guess it's true that only the good die young... How old is Soros, now?
