Why is the press keeping quiet about the fact that Kamala Harris' father was a hard core Marxist economist?

"The claim is true. Taking a closer look at Harris' work and the economics school of thought he professed, we were able to confirm that he inscribed himself in Marx's intellectual tradition."

The press is keeping quiet about just about everything about Kamala. Especially her past performance as vice president.

[RingOfFire]

They are doing the same thing they did with Biden -- a basement campaign -- because it worked for them with him. They are trying to prevent people from seeing her because once they do its all over for them. So they need to trick them into thinking she is something she is not by using their propaganda media machine to lie about everything and create a fake candidate.

The scary part is they only need to do it for a few more weeks to start polluting the election process because their rigged voting system now has early voting that starts way before the election. And once those people vote, without ever knowing who they are voting for and being able to change their mind, it starts the Democrats off with a tremendous advantage well before election day even arrives.

The Democrat party is evil.

[CalmUntilAbused]

I don't understand it, either. There are probably enough people who wouldn't really understand how dangerous Marxism is for them to have some chances to win the elections anyway.

[ManInChains]

The people or thiw country can't even afford to live now... Unless they're already wealthy. I'm getting to th point where if Trump doesn't get into office I won't be able to afford my rent. This country can't afford to have a Marxist president!

[BCA6010]

Kind of glosses over the much more significant fact that Kamala herself is too...

[thearchjoker]

because their corrupt, news companies have long given up on real journalism and integrity

[gorydetails]

because they will never criticize one of their own

[Anonymous]

Because they hope if they agree with her they'll be spared but no they will be executed as well

[RingOfFire]

That is the essence of how communism infiltrates and and comes to power.

Weak minded and cowardly people just go along thinking that they will be spared when the dictator takes over because they supported him instead of standing up and taking the punches to stop him.

But as we have seen, Hitler (or Mao) being an excellent example, they are the first ones who are thrown in the ovens.

[RingOfFire]

Virtually all dictatorships rise to power the same way with a fascist or communist.

[Opinion Owner]

Exactly on of my associates was 4 when he left Hungary, he's now 91 and openly say he's scared seeing our election on both sides of the Atlantic because the liberal are rolling in with the bad sides because they view everyone who was around then is dead or afflicted with dementia

[RingOfFire]

He is so right. This says it all...

[NathanDavis]

now I'm just wondering if Marx's father was also a Marxist...

[elaphe]

That doesn't necessarily mean that she shares her father's beliefs.

[alice55]

And what's wrong with that?

[RingOfFire]

What's wrong with that is that too many people in your generation are too illiterate to know what's wrong with that.

[alice55]

Being marxist is not a bad things is it literally about giving everyone the same things and treating everyone as equal nothing wrong with it. People who are against free healthcare are the one in the wrong.

[RingOfFire]

You are hopelessly illiterate.

Karl Marx is known as the father of communism.

Getting anywhere yet?

[alice55]

My god do you even know your definition? Because it sure doesn't sound like it.

Communism will always be better than capitalism always.
And why do you not respond to the free healthcare stuff? Equality? Are you a biggot? Do you believe only rich people should be able to live and be healthy? Why aren't you talking about the healthcare stuff I told you about hm?

And saying stuff I know is just pointless... everyone know Karl Marx we learn this in school aswell as how communism helped poor people get better hours, better house, better healthcare, etc...

[RingOfFire]

"communism helped poor people get better hours, better house, better healthcare, etc..."

Are you freaking kidding me? Communism is Mao Zedong:

"Mao is considered one of the most influential figures of the 20th century. Mao's policies were responsible for a vast number of deaths, with estimates ranging from 40 to 80 million victims due to starvation, persecution, prison labour, and mass executions, and his government has been described as totalitarian."

Communism is the Soviet Union.
Communism is modern Russia.
Communism is modern China.

Have you ever lived in one of these places, the most evil, most repressive most authoritarian places in the history of the human race that are responsible for more death, more torture, more despair, more starvation, more poverty, more persecution, more racism, more mistreatment of their citizens and more inhumanity than any other nations in history.

You wouldn't last a day in one of these places before you would break down and beg to come back to capitalist America and kiss the ground when you arrived.

[Guacamole409]

Did you know that the people in Venezuela are eating zoo animals and their own pets? Do you really want this for America?

[RingOfFire]

Correction there my good friend Guac...

The people of Venezuela, once one of the most wealthy countries in the world, with one of the richest stock of natural resources, that was driven into bankruptcy by communism ran out of zoo animals to eat... now they are eating pigeons from the (former) parks (which are now serving a dual purpose of a home for homeless people who live on the streets and sleep on the ground in the run down parks and sewage dumps).

[RingOfFire]

Since Venezuela went communist, all of their mining and oil production collapsed since they no longer have the money to run them. They are sitting on top of a goldmine and living like cave people thanks to communism.

[Guacamole409]

I have a friend who lived there back in the day. Her dad got a job there working for an oil company. The place was booming, then communism destroyed the country. Communism is like the definition of insanity. Insanity = Doing the same thing over and over, but expecting different results.
When you have to eat your pet to survive, you need to exit the game. Kamala wants us to exit the game.

[RingOfFire]

@Guacamole409

You are so right. Communism is the most corrupt and evil system of economics and government known to mankind. It is responsible for more death, starvation, suffering and despair than any other form of government or economy ever devised. EVERYWHERE it has ever been practiced in history it ended in disaster.

All you have to do to know which system is better is to see which countries people are trying to flee and which countries people are trying to get into. People are desperately trying to FLEE from communist Russia, China and Venezuela and people are begging to get into capitalist America. Case closed!

[alice55]

Dude I'm talking about my own country who was communist in the early 20th, communism was the better time, it gave people so many great things, you don't know anything about communism at all, nothing. you're brainwashed by American propaganda of the cold war.
Just look up what the early 20th communism / socialism did to help the poor French worker and you'll see it greatly helped them.
Modern China / Russia are strong capitalism countries nothing to do with communism and even Soviet Russia wasn't a real communism countries, read the red book, read about what communism bring to poor worker in the 19 / 2O th of France and you'll see by yourself it have positive when used right.

[RingOfFire]

Every one of these countries fell into communism exactly because of posters like this who fell for the garbage about what a utopia it would be if everyone gets everything free.

That is ABSURD. SOMEONE has to pay for it. Nothing is "Free." It is stupidity at its worst to think this kind of economic system can work. Corrupt dictators use this false promise to trick people into electing them, and then they take control of their whole lives and take away their freedom. And they can never get it back.

[RingOfFire]

Only the economically and historically illiterate, and the hopelessly naive think communism is attractive.

[Guacamole409]

Great points.

[ManInChains]

I don't remember Soviet Russia being a fun place to live... I'd rather not have the USA become that

[CalmUntilAbused]

@alice55 Given that my family used to live in the PPR (Polish People's Republic), I have heard enough stories of insane police brutality and totalitarian practices, as well as shortages of basic consumer goods, to oppose communism in any form it might take and to fully agree with @RingOfFire that the first thing that's wrong with Marxism/communism is that too many people among the Western youth are too illiterate (or simply unable to comprehend) what's wrong with these ideologies.

What saddens me is that even @RingOfFire appears to believe that modern Russia and modern China are communist and seemingly doesn't comprehend the difference between authoritarianism and totalitarianism. In authoritarianism, it's only illegal not to be patriotic, while under totalitarianism it's illegal to have free will. I'm not fully sure about modern Russia, since while it's no longer openly totalitarian, it looks like the mentality of the Russian people that makes Russia effectively totalitarian, not the stance of the actual government. Regarding China, I'd argue it's currently more capitalist than the US under Democrats.

[CalmUntilAbused]

@Guacamole409 A not-so-fun fact: People in Poland under communism apparently used to eat their leather shoes at times, and rumours have it that it was even worse it the USSR proper.

[CalmUntilAbused]

"in the USSR proper"*

[beefcakebradybatson]

WHO CARES BUT TRUMPSTERS?

[RingOfFire]

Answer: Anyone who is sane.

[beefcakebradybatson]

Trumpsters are INSANE like their Maximum Leader !!!

[RingOfFire]

Anyone not voting for President Trump is the one who's insane. They are voting to destroy their own country. And if you destroy America you destroy the entire planet. If that's not Insanity I don't know what is.
