"In an ironic sense, Karl Marx was right. We are witnessing today a great revolutionary crisis -- a crisis where the demands of the economic order are colliding directly with those of the political order. But the crisis is happening not in the free, non-Marxist West, but in the home of Marxism-Leninism, the Soviet Union.... [Communism will be] left on the ash heap of history."

    Today, Economic orders are directly harmonious with political orders. The West is NOT non-Marxist - it is very socialist.

    I'm saddened to say that far too many deleterious and dangerous Marxist Socialist ideologies and practices have infested and infected the U.S., because of the ignorance and/or loathsome agenda's and schemes of detestable individuals.

    Republican movements must counter democratic movements. The press and schools are instilling Marxist values within the general populace. Despite the Constitution declaring "Congress shall make no law ..." Congress has made PLENTY of laws that directly violate Constitutional protections -- and the People are powerless against it now! Where are the public forums of debate? When will Congress redress our grievances? When will the States exercise their sovereignty? When will Americans throw off the Marxist shackles of central fiat banking, income taxes, property taxes, mandatory 'education,' mandatory 'service,' mandatory 'health care,' private trade monopolies in medicine, law, energy? It is time for Americans to realize who they are, throw off the yoke, and spit out that bad medicine. Something has got to give...
