The irony of these statements is Harris’ father is an actual Marxist who doesn’t speak to his daughter partially because she is an ideological opposite.
I feel like either -
A) people hurling Karl Marx around have never actually read and considered his writings
B) they are being intellectually dishonest and creating the pretext for ideological oppression
Or, mostly likely c) all of the above
I am sad our future has taken this turn into darkly oppressive dystopia. I still think we can save things and get back to a world where all political views hash out compromise, but I fear we aren’t going in the right direction with no clear leader of right minded cooperation emerging from the cacophony. I mourn that my daughter will live in the world the conservative right is constructing for her generation - one that rolls back everything my grandparents generation gifted to me.
