Thoughts of Marx, Lenin and Hillary Clinton

First the thoughts of Karl Marx:

• There are, besides, eternal truths, such as Freedom, Justice, etc., that are common to all states of society. But Communism abolishes eternal truths, it abolishes all religion, and all morality, instead of constituting them on a new basis; it therefore acts in contradiction to all past historical experience.
• The theory of Communism may be summed up in one sentence: Abolish all private property.
• From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs.
• The education of all children, from the moment that they can get along without a mother's care, shall be in state institutions at state expense.
• The meaning of peace is the absence of opposition to Socialism.¹
• Machines were, it may be said, the weapon employed by the capitalists to quell the revolt of specialized labor.
• Capital is dead labor, which, vampire-like, lives only by sucking living labor, and lives the more, the more labor it sucks.

Now the thoughts of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin:

• We do not have time to play at “oppositions” at “conferences.” We will keep our political opponents... whether open or disguised as “nonparty,” in prison.
• No amount of political freedom will satisfy the hungry masses.
• The aim of socialism is not only to abolish the present division of mankind into small states and all-national isolation, not only to bring the nations closer to each other, but also to merge them.¹
• The surest way to destroy a nation is to debauch its currency.²
• Destroy the family, you destroy the country.
• A system of licensing and registration is the perfect device to deny gun ownership to the bourgeoisie.
• Only an armed people can be the real bulwark of popular liberty.³
• The way to crush the bourgeoisie is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation.²
• Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.
• The Capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them.
• We can and must write in a language which sows among the masses hate, revulsion, and scorn toward those who disagree with us.
• While the State exists, there can be no freedom. When there is freedom there will be no State.
• All our lives we fought against exalting the individual, against the elevation of the single person, and long ago we were over and done with the business of a hero, and here it comes up again: the glorification of one personality. This is not good at all.
• One of the basic conditions for the victory of socialism is the arming of the workers (Communist) and the disarming of the bourgeoisie (the middle class).

How many of you Leftists believe this crap? Please raise your hands. Wow, that’s quite a few people. Okay, Hillary and Obama you don’t need to jump and down with excitement. I get it. You are Marxists. And now Hillary Clinton wants to say something:

• Many of you are well enough off that ... the tax cuts may have helped you. We're saying that for America to get back on track, we're probably going to cut that short and not give it to you. We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good.
• We must stop thinking of the individual and start thinking about what is best for society.
• I'm undaunted in my quest to amuse myself by constantly changing my hair.⁴
• The American people are tired of liars and people who pretend to be something they're not.⁵
• Marriage has got historic, religious and moral content that goes back to the beginning of time, and I think a marriage is as a marriage always has been, between a man and a woman. ⁶
• I think we sort of have lost track of the fact this is a government that has to be accountable to the people of our country. ⁷
• Where's the goddamn f***ing flag? I want the goddamn f***ing flag up every f***ing morning at f***ing sunrise.

¹ I wonder if Bernie Sanders believes this.

² Congress is already doing this.

³ I believe the Founders would have agreed with this. “To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them.”  - George Mason.

⁴ Do you amuse yourself by changing your pants suits?

⁵ Does this include Bubba and yourself? Or does that fall into “at this point what difference does it make?”

⁶ Unless I am running for president.

⁷ Unless I am destroying classified emails.
