True. For four hundred years communism was a French word for public property. Then the Marxists redefined it to mean some kind of utopia. E.g. in 1800 the USA was the only communist country because the state itself was public property. Then KM translated the US constitution from English to German and back again with a neo Hegelian twist at which time the US was no longer “authentically” communist. Hegelian philosophy is a pretty nifty framework for public relations campaigns but that’s all it is.
The Russians under the Czar owned nothing, the Czar owned everything, and the only way you could own anything was to steal it. Thus was born the Vorovskoy Mir, the thieves world with it’s own rules, values, and subculture. Then along comes Lenin, telling the people that under communism they will own everything and it will be a dictatorship of the proletariat. They took the bait, and after the revolution they still owned nothing, and the communist party owned everything. They had simply exchanged one oppressive tyrant for another.
Marxism is a holistic pseudoscience meant to subvert Western Civilization and Europoid values.
Here’s a 1979 New York Times article on the death of Marcuse. To think those NYT journalists probably assumed Marcuse-ism was dead when it was really just beginning.
