Republicans are pushing the US towards Marxism while the Democrats are the ones trying to save you from it. Don’t believe me?
Look at the evidence.
FIRST, simply
Marxism says that ultimately capitalism results in a small group of hyper-winners and an overwhelming number of losers resulting in the losers taking physical control (revolt/revolution) based on a numbers advantage. Then it goes on to suggest some non-class world of utopia.
SECOND,
we are steaming towards an inevitable revolution/revolt based on the consolidating number of hyper-winners and overwhelming number of losers, not because of popular culture differences to debate.
- Wages for workers are stagnant in real terms with all the moderate increase coming from top earners (first link)
- Profit margins are at historical highs for capital owners (second/third links)
- Profit margins have been driven by “productivity” increases on the backs of labor without any reward to the worker for being more productive - since the 70’s ripping off the worker has been in vogue as unions dissolved. (Fourth link)
THIRD, this is
ALL DRIVEN BY REPUBLICAN POLICY. Republican policies drive lower minimum wages, lower Corporate taxes, fewer corporate regulations to protect workers, shirks providing basic benefits to Americans, and adamantly protects the hoarding of profits through fighting any redistribution tactics of graduated tax rates, inheritance taxes, capital gains.
CONCLUSION,
the US capitalism experiment will fail if the Republicans continue to push winners take all losers lose all policies. Giving up some gains to protect the majority of your capital is the only strategy that keeps us in balance. Otherwise the workers will come for all your capital and you are outnumbered. Consider a long term strategy of taking care of the balance or perish in the instability of the only part of Marxism that is inevitable: The large underclass that gets taken advantage of will remediate that imbalance by force.

The problem with all your babble is you refuse to see that even the lowest income people have a far better life than poor did 200 years ago. Everyone’s life standard is raised, as opposed to Marxist run shit holes where their living standards are flushed down the toilet.
I don’t know a single Marxist. What the hell are you babbling about? I’m pushing to avoid the Marxist progression. Don’t you see the Republican platform is pushing us to Marxism?
Yeah. that's the way you avoid pushing us to the Marxist progression, by pushing us closer to it. That's what every Marxist says.
You're an idiot.
You haven’t offered anything up except “no you’re an idiot”. The unbalance in wealth and income is dangerous to our National fabric. Are you not worried about it at all? What do you suggest to move us back to closer historical levels or wealth and income distribution?
1. Raise capital gains tax to equal income tax.
2. Raise taxes only on $400k and up
3. Raise minimum wage to $15
4. Guarantee healthcare access to all.
5. Raise corporate taxes to historic levels - it was 35% under Clinton’s balanced budget
6. Guarantee college access to all
7. Cut corporate welfare of kickbacks to favored industries
8. Reduce military spending
9. Increase infrastructure spending
