People are afraid of closing the Department of Education.

Don't worry.

I graduated in 1975.

The Department of Education started in 1978.

I spent my whole educational experience without the DOE. People my age are able to read and write. We actually know which bathroom to use.

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

Left-wing pro-choice males are helping what few women are protecting their rights to an abortion.

The capitalist wants slaves like the good old days of building the pyramids and ever since.

When it comes to issues like abortion, pro gun, right wing nuts like Boebert and MTG, There are two types of women. Those that have no identity of their own (problem is out patriarchal, hence misogynistic society). There are a lot of women who have no identity of their own, they latch on to their husbands, what he champions and thinks is what they champion and think. I've know women who were (for instance) Arizona Cardinal fans, there husband were, and even wore Cardinals jackets, then they div…

I have never read mARX, but I always thought he advocated equal wealth for everybody. After listening to right wingers be right him all my life, that's my opinion of him.

Marx and Adam Smith are best read with toothpicks holding your eyes open. Millions quote them, few have read them.

Marx was a proto libertarian. He advocated eliminating the middle class but favored a ruling class (capitalists were the bourgeoisie, financiers the ruling elite)

The USSR claimed to be Marxist (libertarian) and the Great Soviet Encyclopedia hailed Adam Smith as their inspiration.

Marx advocated a 100% gold standard. The USSR was on one, where a ruble was valued at .958 grams fine gol…

If we told the right wingers that mARX was more of a libertarian than a communist and that Jesus was more of a communist than a capitalist, the right would never believe us.
