? for Conservatives and Libertarians who claim Harris and Walz are Marxists

Marxism is a political, economic, and social philosophy that originated in the 19th century with the work of German philosopher Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. It's named after Marx and is based on his ideas about the historical effects of capitalism on labor, productivity, and economic development. Marxism is a broad philosophy that unifies social, political, and economic theory and is concerned with the conflict between the working class and the ownership class.

Marxism emphasizes the importance of economic factors in shaping human actions and behavior. It views social reality as a dynamic process characterized by the unity of opposites and the necessity of conflict for change. Marx argued that capitalism creates fundamental contradictions that can only be resolved by a change from capitalism to a communist system. He believed that the struggle between the bourgeoisie (capitalists) and the proletariat (workers) would inevitably lead to a communist revolution.

Marxism has developed into various branches and schools of thought over time, so there is no single, definitive Marxist theory. Some of its key concepts include:

  • Labor theory of value
    Marx argued that this theory could explain the value of all commodities, including the commodity that workers sell to capitalists for a wage.

  • Dialectical materialism
    This is a dialectical interpretation of historical development that Marxism uses to analyze class relations, social conflict, and social transformation.

  • Dictatorship of the proletariat
    Marxism advocates for a dictatorship of the proletariat until the establishment of a classless society.
 
Do you also believe FDR, Truman, Kennedy, Carter, Clinton, Obama and Biden are/were Marxists?

Why do you consider them Marxists?

I think Libertarians like the Kochs think that they are all probably Marxists, but I am not sure.

We have probably have a dozen posters who continually call Harris/Walz Marxists.
The common denominator is that all those people have low IQs and can't define Marxism. They heard it once on FOX once and it stuck.

Thank you for the response to the original post.

It seems to have become Vietnam War obsessed.

I believe you have called Harris/Walz Marxists, or at least far left socialists, correct? Why? How different do you think Harris is from previous Democratic candidates? Do you think previous Democratic presidents were far left or Marxists who tried to destroy the country? If so how do you explain them guiding the country to have the largest middle class in the history of the world, until Reagan and the Heritage Foundation began to tear it down?

Because they believe or at least vote in ways that make the Government the sole source of all things. I didn't call them Marxists, socialists yes.
