[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 2206427, member: 24302"] Stop what? I'm not saying we're serfs now or will be. I'm pointing out that Marxism resonated with Russian serfs as explained to them by Marxists. If you lived in that system you not only lived extremely poor, but speaking out could get you killed. Along comes a Marxist who tells ignorant peasants that if they take this gun and fight they could have a wonderful life where everyone is equal. It wasn't capitalism they were resisting, it was the divine right of the Russian aristocracy to hog all the wealth. The thing is if you look around at what's going on, our corporate leadership is creating a similar environment that a significant number of our population feels can only be fixed with socialism. A lot of it is class envy, but a lot is greed by corporate elitists that creates anger in a population with limited upward mobility. If you truly believe there's nothing going on, that this is black helicopter stuff, you're in denial and should stop, just stop, and reassess. [/QUOTE]
