    Thats what happens when you win on all “style” and no “substance”. Come on you juvenile koolaid drinkers, what now!? Its like a dog chasing a car, if they ever caught one, they would’nt know to do with it.

      This is exactly the problem Karl Marx had.

      Marx was appalled at the plight of the worker. He had a glorious and passionate vision for the future, but he really had no clue how to pull it off in any realistic way.

      And the left has never figured it out since. All passion and form and thunder, no practical connection to reality.

      :evil: Good point ZD, Hopefully There is not a ‘Stalin’ in the wings who has a vision.

    CM: “Is there such a thing as an Obama believer?”

    You might be an Obama believer if you get a tingle up your leg.

    Or if you prefer…Chris, that guy you see in the mirror he’s known to be a ‘believer’.

    What a Fk head.

    :shock: Obama’s core set of principles?!? He has them alright, just read his freaking books…just look at his record…just listen to him talk…just look at the people he surrounds himself with. He has told us what he wants to do, we just haven’t been listening or are unwilling to listen. The man wants to “radically transform the country”. He is the destroyer of our nation.

      Hey Grumpy Doc- The “Stalin” is obama.Mass denial is all that is keeping that from comming out.It will be exposed eventually I pray to God for.

    There’s nothing glorious about Marxism nor passionate about Marx.

    The uniqueness of the individual human being, pursuing its own moral self-interest, is a part of Gold’s plan for humanity.
    For Marxism to achieve any level of success (i.e., without a dictator) requires uniqueness to be replaced by standardization, individual self-interest replaced by the collective and God’s plan replaced by The State.

    Were Marx alive today he’d likely be surprised he was taken this seriously.

      I agree. The “glory” was just a fantasy, and the “passion” was really just anger.

      Passion divorced from reason leads to suffering, and Marx, Lenin, Stalin, etc. all caused tremendous suffering in the name of creating some kind of impossible utopia. Only social insects have achieved anything resembling the Marxist utopia.

    When it becomes time to expose the True Believers of the Obot fraud, Chris Matthews and Chuck Todd should be remembered as a couple of kneepadded foot soldiers and treated accordingly!

    Marxism, Socialism, Collectivism on and on…. They all are an unenlightened return to tribalism. The so called leftist thinkers are merely unable to overcome our genetic roots with their rational mind.

    The idea of an individual being the foundation of a society or system is the more modern and I will argue the enlightened position. It is also the harder one to keep from collapsing into anarchy.

    The level of responsibility that is placed on each person in the enlightened society is more than a base, lazy or dim citizen can handle. Crooks, demagogues and just downright evil people see that weakness and exploit it.

    They appeal to the base, lazy and dim at each ones vulnerable point. The leaders and the followers have no stomach for the hard work of an enlightened individual in a society of equals.

    I call all of the variants neotribalism.

  • Sully

    That’s charitable.
    Unless you can prove “leftist thinkers” not only think but they also possess a “rational mind”, I’d call it nihilism.
