Well, some Greens claim to be "socialists" these days, but I am not registered Green right now. But "Marxist" per se? That's pretty rare to find anyway. You would have trouble labeling anyone that in a lawsuit. It's not like McCarthy could do in the early 1950s.

But for my charge against you, all I would have to do is quote what you have said in recent posts to prove my case.

In any case, I don't think there's any law against calling someone a racist or a Marxist anyway.

Oh, there are laws against calling people racists who aren't racists and there are other serious repercussions for doing it as well. Hint, if its socialist, Communist or Fascist it's Marxist influenced. If it's liberal, it's most likely funded by Marxists or Marxist believers or Marxist followers or Marxist groups these days.  As far as I know, there is no law against calling you a Marxist or associating you with Marxism. Personally, I think we are getting pretty close to repeating history (McCarthy era) again. Of coarse, the difference will be that the government won't be as involved this time. I don't think you understand that if the liberal Democrats won't do anything about them or stop them, America itself is going to start shooting them and beating the shit out of them. I see an ugly world coming dude.

McCarthy was on your side, and doing the same thing as you are doing. Do you have no sense of decency?

There's no such law. Anyone who defends confederate monuments is a racist and a traitor. And socialism existed before Marxism. He is far from the only inspiration for liberal ideas. He contributed a lot of scholarship and historical perspective to our understanding of capitalism and the working class, and his manifesto sparked a movement. But that movement was hijacked by tyrants, as often happens with revolutions. The Soviets and Maoists were just instituting another reign of terror. So Marxism per se has virtually no presence in the USA; some still in Europe, as well as a few remaining communist states. Actually, liberals are just mostly responding to the needs of the time, and are the ones who call for solutions, whatever workable ones might be available; while the conservatives like you just help prop up the problems. No overarching theory is needed just to call for solutions and liberation from tyrants and bosses, whether they be business bosses like you or the Koch Brothers or the Mercers, or political bosses like Trump, Xi Jinping, Assad or Duterte.

It is ludricrous to claim "Marxists" are funding whatever is liberal. Many foolish conspiracy theorists call George Soros a communist who is behind every scheme for world government. Are you joining the Alex Jones crowd now? Or should we call you General Ripper? No, George Soros funded ANTI-communist movements in Eastern Europe and helped bring down the Iron Curtain. Conservatives hate him because he funds liberal Democrats in their campaigns such as Hillary Clinton's. But that is virtuous, and what is true is that all liberals like me with email addresses are bombarded today with pleas for money. Soros is just one of them who can afford to answer them.

When you go on about Marxism, you are General Ripper. Is he your hero? Is he on your level of sanity?





Although you talk about shooting the communists and beating the shit outta them, thankfully you can't launch a nuclear war against them.
