Dammit, they don't want utopia!
Over and over again in the Repooflican talking points, and even in blogs opposed to the Carbon Cult (who really ought to know better!) we see constant reference to the "Leftist goal of a Marxist utopia" and the "Leftist goal of wealth redistribution." This has always been a staple ingredient of brand-R rhetoric, but seems to be getting especially dense lately.
No, no, no! You're 50 years behind the times! (Intentionally, I suspect.)
Soviet Communism was technically defined as Marxism-Leninism, which meant they were using Lenin's revolutionary methods to get to Marx's heaven.
American Leftists before the 1960's were mainly Marxists. They actually did envision a Socialist society where everything was distributed equally. Some of them were Soviet revolutionaries (Marxist + Leninist) while others were non-revolutionary (only Marxist.)
Post-68 Leftists are pure Leninists. They no longer seek utopia, and they no longer seek to redistribute wealth. They want to redistribute GOOD AND EVIL. They openly want nothing but CHAOS, CONFUSION AND DESTRUCTION. They openly want all the wealth for themselves, and many of them are part of the Wall Street Mafia. Many of them work in investment banks, for Christ's sake.
Well, I guess that is redistributing wealth after all, but it's an UPWARD redist. From the middle class to the Swiss bank accounts of obscenely rich Jews, from the poor in America to the rich in China.
Two words should suffice to explain all of this: GOLDMAN. SACHS. ¶ 10:46 AM
