Yes, you've hit on a very interesting phenomenon: the idea that today's mid-wit students and professors are somehow qualified to judge not just those who are alive today, but also everyone who EVER LIVED. That, along with the idea that everyone falls into just two groups, victim or victimizer, is another tenant of Marxism. Times change, but human nature doesn't. The founders knew that centralized, top-down power is the worst way of organizing a civilization. Power corrupts, and there is more money and more power concentrated in Washington DC than anywhere at anytime in history. The only real solution to corruption is to start chipping away at that power. Unfortunately, these people have many ways to defend their positions, and will not hesitate to use them, as we've seen.
