HILL: Marxist college professor dinner table talk

It is not their fault they were indoctrinated in the tenets of communism at a young age.

Kamala Harris’ father, Donald Harris, was a tenured self-professed Marxist economist at Stanford University. Joseph Anthony Buttigieg II, father of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, was an openly admitted tenured Marxist professor of literature at Notre Dame, funded incidentally by the William R. Kenan Foundation in Chapel Hill.

Former U.S. President Barack Obama was mentored in his youth by avowed communist writer, playwright and activist Frank Marshall Davis. His chief political adviser, Valerie Jarrett, grew up in a family surrounded by numerous outspoken communist professors and activists who are too many to list here.

What could the adults have possibly talked about around the dinner table with the young impressionable Kamala, Pete, Barack and Valerie ― sports perhaps? Maybe they discussed weather patterns every night. Or maybe each had similar experiences to Pete Buttigieg, who no doubt listened to his father wax poetic about the writings of Marxist philosopher Antonio Gramsci after work every evening.

These children of Marxist communists absorbed the collectivist philosophy of communism at the knees of their fathers. (Remember: It is not an ad hominem insult to call someone a “communist” if they have publicly and proudly stated they were a communist. It is just plain fact.)

These children of communists have not explicitly repudiated the politics of their fathers in public. They did not rebel against their fathers and become “radical” free market activists or start a massively successful business.

They were sent off to liberal colleges, many times on scholarships funded by successful capitalists, to learn from leftist poli sci and sociology professors about how to best spread the gospel of communism in America. They learned the optimal way to do so was to get elected and then inject Marxist communist thought into the bloodstream of American culture, law and academia ― the very fabric of our nation ― through laws, regulations and judges who make up their own constitutional rules.

And American voters have voted them into office. That is our fault, not theirs.

There is a distinction without a difference between Marxism and communism. Marxism is a philosophy which considers all private enterprise “evil” and exploitative of the worker. Communism is the government method by which communists expropriate individual private property and “say” they will redistribute wealth to the average person ― which never happens in reality.

All they have known ― and been taught by Marxist fathers ― is government provides everything a person could ever need. They fervently believe government coercive power should be used as a cudgel against the wealthy to help the working class.

Hardly any of the people who have worked in the Obama and Biden administrations have any “real world” business experience in a profit-maximizing business. Nearly all have worked in government, academia or politics their entire existence. None of their life stories include references to running a lemonade stand; mowing lawns or delivering newspapers back when there were newspapers to be delivered to earn some extra money.

It is not their fault they were indoctrinated in the tenets of communism at a young age. However, a person doesn’t have to listen very carefully to hear the lyrics and music of Marxist doctrine in their every speech.

It just oozes out of them naturally.

People are free to hear and believe whatever they want in America, even the false siren call of communism and socialism. Such people are fun to converse with because their arguments are so easily dismissed with facts, figures and reason.

However, sons and daughters of communists should not be given the benefit of the doubt that somehow, someway they have magically become the next incarnation of Ronald Reagan or Milton Friedman and defenders of the American Dream unless they say so and have proved it. Their very actions and policies belie such a generous assumption.

It is not racist, sexist or homophobic to vote against a person because they believe in the Marxist communist philosophy. It is the right thing to do since the very essence of Marxist communism is so un-American.
