“The Communists disdain to conceal their views and aims,” Marx declared. “They openly declare that their ends can be attained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions."
Nice thumbnail Jon! I would add that his creation as a tool to work his passion on all of us, was that he was the father of Sociology. Your #1, is as striking as what we see with Joe Biden. Marx, sat in Engels' mansion, his children sat outside the gate, starving. I learned a few years back, that Marx sired a child by way of one of Engels' servants. Engels was questioned about the child on his death bed and confirmed it was of Marx.
#5, the core of his sword called Sociology, a subject passed off through time as a legitimate "science" when it was nothing more than a propaganda platform to stoke their agenda. I say, "their" as the long list of Marxists from Sociology continue to add their spin to the anti-human goal of Marx and Emile Durkheim. They constructed the idea that one of the items they had to cross off the list to bring change, was that it was a must to block the generational transmission of culture. There is your view to the taking down of statues, forcefully teaching lies about other people and cultures to the young, making strange laws and codes about biasing speech to reflect one view of life, which is the exact opposite of the culture, which brought us the United States. At least, the one that believed in a Christian way of life.
Marx's Book Four if I recall, designs the demise of a culture's economy to bring about the final chaos. It's the chapter entitled, "Crisis Theory". He didn't finish that one either, however it's published as he left it and what he left was a weaponized version of what could happen naturally. It's not genius but it left a design for economic chaos, used often by people who seek power on a grand or small scale.
You're most Welcome! Thank you for taking up the fight and tell Gard Goldsmith I said thank you for recommending your ss. Now, I looked it up for you to save you some time. Crisis Theory, is located in the Three Volume set of "Theories of Surplus Value" I have written about it a number of times. That would be chapter XVII. Essentially, Marx uses agricultural failures or Over Production issues as to how the circuit of money, can be shut down. The farmer over produces, nobody wants to buy it all, the price goes down, the farmer can't pay off the bank, the bank forecloses and so on.
In today's world, apply it as though you are throttling the economy. Covid Shutdowns leading to demand slacking off, leading to over stocking, leading to no money flow for future purchases and then back again, not enough production, inflation, etc.
You might try and have a chat with Gard Goldsmith on that. He is like you as a student of the Marx program. The average person, really has no idea how broad that influence is. Have you gone over the influence of Marx in the early 1860s? I have seen a number of historians, claim that Marx was a friend of Lincoln, because they corresponded. I laugh. Lincoln was in so much trouble politically, he would have gladly corresponded with John Wilkes Boothe, if he thought it would have picked up his vote.
Have you ever seen anything on the "Red Diaper Babies" from NYC? Marx was a syndicated columnist there in the early 1860s, until his column was banded...by the UNion Forces. Probably has something to do with the Draft Riots.
Marx was very clear and direct in his hatred of things many people hold dear. The real gift is little analysis is required—just go to the horse’s mouth. But it also reveals the man’s logic was silly reductionism.
All too often we underestimate the importance of property. The original idea from the 18th century Declaration of Independence was "life, liberty and property" but even then, intellectuals were reluctant to make that declaration, opting instead to go with the watered down "pursuit of happiness".
There is no need to apologize for property. It is the most basic component of liberty.

Good work sir!

Paul Kengor and I talked about Marx's child in a podcast on Tuesday. I'll definitely need to look into Crisis Theory. Thx!
