Shoot howdy! My recent opinion caused some ruffled feathers. Mr. Marsh, I purposeful­ly named no names. Since you called me out by name, several times, I must have raised your hackles?

It’s funny, not haha, but peculiarly how some folks get so mad if you question their belief system. You admonished me to stop being unwise foolish, silly, not well thought out. What did you mean?

By the way, opinions are the view or judgements of the speaker/writer. I don’t have to provide verifiable proof. In this country, I’m still allowed to speak/ write/ say my opinion.

Mr. Marsh, you asked me to name one Marxist politician. You know as well as I, if they put that label on they very well may not be elected. So they hide behind qualifiers such as, ‘I’m a progressiv­e’, I’m a social democrat, or I’m a left leaning liberal’. Proof is in the programs and the agenda they carry out. Espousing class warfare, ending capitalism, wealth redistribu­tion are some of the tenets of Marxism. We see these things happening right now before our eyes.

Marxism is just a social and political theory. An experiment in failure after failure. It’s purpose isn’t so much to enlighten as it is to enslave whole societies.

Regarding education, traditiona­l Marxists believe children should be taught to passively obey authority. Hence, we have the retooled class warfare as the new race warfare — CRT. Brainwashi­ng all tied up in an ugly bow.
