Socialism is not Marxism.Let's see your evidence? Let's see the strong stand the party has taken against the open Marxists who have gained control of the party?
Why would the terrorist wing of the democrat party, that was defeated and destroyed in 1969 have anything to do with Trump?
Again - this is APP, leave the emotional Trump hatred and usual tantrums downstairs.
Demonstrably false.
{
An early September Gallup poll on Americans’ perception of capitalism and socialism shows the latter is now heavily preferred by Democrats. In 2010, 50 percent of Democrats viewed socialism favorably; today, 66 percent do.
In just 15 years, the percentage of Democrats viewing socialism favorably has gone from half to almost two-thirds. In contrast, over the same period, the percentage of Democrats who at least view capitalism “favorably” has fallen from a bare majority of 51 percent to just 42 percent.
Today’s poll results remove any ambiguity about a May 2019 Gallup poll that found 74 percent of Democrats would support a socialist for president as their party’s nominee.}
As already demonstrated in this thread, Marx is the architect of present democrat party. Please review post #4 and post #5
So you are not capable of reasoned debate. Ignorance and ad hom are the tools of the left, you lack actual knowledge and cannot debate the subject or the material.
Show me the words where Marx said Marxism is the same as the Democrats in 2026?Communism in relation to the American Democratic Party:
Marx writes further;
{The Communists do not form a separate party opposed to the other working-class parties. They have no interests separate and apart from those of the proletariat as a whole. They do not set up any sectarian principles of their own, by which to shape and mould the proletarian movement. The Communists are distinguished from the other working-class parties by this only: 1. In the national struggles of the proletarians of the different countries, they point out and bring to the front the common interests of the entire proletariat, independently of all nationality. 2. In the various stages of development which the struggle of the working class against the bourgeoisie has to pass through, they always and everywhere are present the interests of the movement as a whole.}
Here we get to the meat that insofar as the perspective of the democrat party in America, they are we and we are them. That is, as Marx states there is no distinction between Communist and democrat, the Communists do not separate themselves from the left as a whole, but essentially infest any and all left leaning causes and parties. In America this is primarily the democrat party. This heralds back to those such as Mamdani, AOC, Tlaib, Gavin Newson, et al. Per Marxist doctrine, these are not infiltrators who have seized control of the party, but in fact the very definition of the party. The democrat party in inseparable from communism as Marx has molded the proletarian movement of the party.
Socialism is not Marxism.
Why? I never made the claim he did.Show me the words where Marx said Marxism is the same as the Democrats in 2026?
Show me, you can’t because he didn’t.Why? I never made the claim he did.
It’s simply not, one is a form of government the other is an economic theory.Nuhn Uhn and 'Cuz are not valid arguments.
Present evidence and logic, or forfiet.
I accept your surrender.It’s simply not, one is a form of government the other is an economic theory.
That's just hair splitting.Socialism is not Marxism.
Neither Socialism nor Marxism (Communism) is a form of government per se. They are both very similar economic theories. In terms of government, Communism needs a dictatorship to work, while Socialism just needs a big, intrusive, government to do so.It’s simply not, one is a form of government the other is an economic theory.
By raising a starting point for a useful discussion you've now obviously lost him.Lets start with your premise, in what way has the rise of Mamdani and Cortez resulted in defining the Democratic party as Marxist? I am interested in your answer. I see no element of Marxism in their positions, but I have not studied them, maybe you can educate me on it.
How is the "Democratic Party" associated with "Critical Race Theory?"
Define Marxism with something other than the opening line of Marx's manifesto, because the quoted portion dose not really define the ideology, it simply describes a view on historical friction among societal classes. It does not take a side or suggest a solution. This is does not give us a basis for discussion.
There is no need for any socialism component. Socialism = problems. Socialism = bogus economics. Socialism = denial of human nature.This is the problem with Socialism, and why for a modern nation to be successful we need a balance of Capitalism and Socialism.
Correct. Republicans generally adhere to sound economics and Democrats generally oppose sound economics.This is the general friction between Democrats and Republicans on the issue of economics,
All countries have socialism infections, so all countries have problems.no Nation in existence is Pure Capitalist or Socialist.
On all issues, you are a Marxist.On social issues, I am a libertarian.
Of course you do.On economic issues, I believe we need more socialism in the mix
The Marxist's creed.to keep the wealthy from taking to much power
You HATE job-creators; I get it.and controlling to many people
There aren't any such things as "classes". You have to be a moron to think that people come with little HTML tags indicating one's "class."I do not like that the classes are so solidified.
You are mistaken. When the government fully controls the supply-demand curve, you have socialism. Referring to socialism as "regulated capitalism" is simply playing word games.This one is the one that Jarod consistently conflates with Socialism... This is a form of regulated and taxed capitalism, not socialism.
Karl Marx is the author of Marxism. Whatever Marx says Marxism is, is what it is.Your citation of Marx's manifesto is simply a description of how he saw the world at the time he wrote it. It does not describe Marxism at all.
Call it whatever makes you feel good about it, but a rose by any other name is still a rose.This one is the one that Jarod consistently conflates with Socialism... This is a form of regulated and taxed capitalism, not socialism.
Taxation and welfare does not "fully control the supply-demand curve"... Also, if they do that, control the supply-demand curve, without taking control of the companies it is Fascistic Economics not Socialism. In Fascistic Economic systems the government, through bureaucratic committees, tells the company what kind of widget and how many to make, though it is still privately owned. Taxes and welfare do not do that. Basically Fascism is socialism without government ownership. Cartels control what the company makes, how much they pay, how many they hire, how many items they make, and where they send it and what they charge.... Fascism, not socialism.You are mistaken. When the government fully controls the supply-demand curve, you have socialism. Referring to socialism as "regulated capitalism" is simply playing word games.
Hence you calling it what makes you feel good rather than what it is. Calling a rock a flyswatter might make you feel good, but it doesn't make it a doorknob.Call it whatever makes you feel good about it, but a rose by any other name is still a rose.
