There is nothing at all new about Republicans calling Democrats Marxists, pinks and reds. They have been doing for at least seventy years, ever since the time of FDR. Richard Milhous Nixon quite literally built his career on that basis, as did Reagan and countless other Republicans ever since. Nobody should be surprised to see the same tactics being used in this campaign.
Jim F. ^^^^ CB: Yes, glad Jim reminded of this. Of course, now , post Cold War and with Communism dead, more and more young people have not gone through heavy duty anti-Communist and anti-Marxist brainwashing. I'm wondering if bringing Marxism back up now might sort of backfire on the right-wing. For example, the Kristol type article might cause some young people to go back and read the famous quote by Marx on religion, and more than just the snippet " opium of the people". The whole thing is kind of impressive. Next thing you know they will want to read The Manifesto and _Capital_. Does the right-wing really want to bring up Marxism "again" ? _______________________________________________ Marxism-Thaxis mailing list Marxism-Thaxis@lists.econ.utah.edu To change your options or unsubscribe go to: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/marxism-thaxis
