Amazing that an idea bigger and more pernicious than Nazism got its start with one man, Karl Marx! |
|
As always the anti-communist propaganda screed is tremendously funny and full of Bad History.
I love that apparently Marx learnt free will was a lie by Hegel himself ("Good, he does not believe in free will", an amazingly bad reading of Marx). Apparently, despite the zealotry on display by the writer, they didn't really do much research on Hegel or the subject that they hate so much, Marx himself.
Especially on the Marxist concept of the withering of the State. Yep, when I think of Marx, I think of him *not* explaining things and keeping them vague! Or that Communism will bring a just and inherently good world, ignoring that half of Marx's writings were being very angry with Utopian communists that thought that...
It's a shame people took this tripe so seriously, it works well as comic parody of the red scare. |
