People, especially younger people, are becoming more and more removed from knowledge of the bloody consequences of pure Marxism taken to its illogical conclusion.

But but the MSNBC hosts said that “socialism” is the n-word

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

Under marxism there would be no reason to write a book and have it published. The government would decide if your book would be printed or not. The government would set the price. The high commisar would decide how much royalty you would receive, if any.

It’s natural that marx would come back into vogue. After all, one of his disciples got elected president of the USA. Quite naturally, people want to know what baraq is thinking. Learning about marx is a good shortcut into his useless mind.

Engels was proud of his lobster salad and liked to fox hunt. He hosted regular Sunday parties for London’s left-wing intelligentsia and [...] was an advocate, on at least one occasion, of ethnic cleansing

Typical leftists elitist.

The Left was more disgusted with Karl Rove than Karl Marx.

BUT they still deny that Obama’s “sharing the wealth” from Joe the Plumber’s proposed business was in any way Marxism.

The problem with employing ‘useful idiots’ is that they are, in the final analysis, idiots.....

This does not suprise me since for some young people, it is fun to wear a Che t-shirt not knowing who the heck Che was.

Snort. Compare and contrast this assertion with what is on their best seller lists.

The exploitation of the workers in Engels’ family cotton mills subsidized Marx while he was writing “Das Kapital”. The exploitation of the workers in the Soviet Union subsidized Lenin, Stalin et al. in putting Marx’s ideology into practice. In a sense, Engels was the original useful idiot.

[Billthedrill]

Of course Engels was petit bourgeoisie. His father was a leading capitalist. That was his extent of working knowledge of the proletariat but people still idolize him as an expert. So what we really have here is a wrong-headed, hypocritical, ideological fool with a fine reputation for partying down. I can't wait to see what the author has to say about Kim Jong Il.

New York Times book critic Dwight Garner on Wednesday enthused over a new biography of Friedrich Engels, cooing that Marxism is "back in vogue" and adding that the founding communist comes across as a "jovial man of outsize appetites" in Tristram Hunt’s new biography "Marx’s General."

IMO, marxism is not now, never has been and never will be "in vogue".
