When It Comes to Marxism, Bad Ideas Don’t Get Better with Age

Chevrolet driving crowd to get off their blessed assurance and get a little more involved.

Bad ideas don’t get better with age, even when we have the “intellectually gifted” repeating them loudly and more frequently. Let’s take the monstrosity of Marxism, for example. When I was in my formative years in the early to mid-1980s, most normal folks would have politely laughed at anyone professing to follow anything from the failed Karl Marx.
In his 2020 book The Devil and Karl Marx: Communism’s Long March of Death, Deception, and Infiltration, Paul Kengor details that in 1849, one year after Marx published his “crowning work,” The Communist Manifesto, he was evicted by his landlord who was fed up with his filthiness. The landlord complained, “Karl drank too much, smoked too much, never exercised, and suffered from warts and boils due to a lack of washing. He stunk . . .” Marx went on to die in despair in March of 1883, penning these words to one of his few friends, “How pointless and empty is life, but how desirable.” I can see how someone of that caliber might be a role model to so many of today’s progressives!
Sadly for the progressives, proselytizing on behalf of Marx’s theories doesn’t make them work. Even the most objective on the Left would have a hard time showing the empirical data to make any communist country look successful—not the USSR, not Cuba or Venezuela, or whatever it is the Chinese Communist Party is trying to pull off. As much fun as it is for the Left to sing along with the Utopian lyrics of John Lennon’s “Imagine,” the truth is the whole Nirvana thing never really works out. In fact, it always goes in quite the opposite direction. While it sounds just wonderful that everyone shares everything equally, those pesky elitists pushing all this bunk never quite let you get there. Think Charlie Brown, Lucy, football.

So, there it is. A failed system begat by a failed man that has, shockingly, historically also always failed when implemented. It’s being pushed by a bunch of “educated idiots,” who believe our country is a historic and international embarrassment that needs to be apologized for, fundamentally broken down, and then rebuilt based on Marxist principles. All of which begin with the reprogramming of your children from pre-K to graduate school.
Sounds like more of the God and country loving, flag-waving, baseball playing, hot dog and apple pie eating, and Chevrolet driving crowd may need to get off their blessed assurance and get a little more involved. We all know the Edmund Burke quote about how evil prevails, but you may not be familiar with the equally powerful Billy Graham quote: “When a brave man takes a stand, the spines of others are often stiffened.”
Are you standing yet?
Commentary:
Well, Karl Marx and his friend Frederick Engels are roasting nicely in the flames of hell. I bet these guys made a deal with the devil in their lifetimes.
Ferguson say's we need to take a stand. when someone is spewing Leftist garbage at you, speak up and say NO, I don't accept that.
Quit using the Left's language and following their belief system.
The event on January 6 was NOT an "insurrection." There is no such thing as a transgender man. There are not 57 genders. Tent slums and shooting drugs in the street is NOT compassion. Voter ID is NOT voter suppression. It is your right to refuse experimental vaccines or ANY other treatment. You are NOT responsible for what your ancestors may or may not have done. Do not enrich openly Woke companies and organizations with your patronage. If your Alma Mater is Woke, don't give them money and tell them why you won't. Do not use Oppressive Tech like Fakebook, Google, and others. Support those who are actually doing the brave work like the Freedom truckers, or True the Vote that is investigating fraudulent voting practices.
If everything has become political, so is everything you do, from what you say to who you do business with.
