Marxism cannot co-exist with our constitutional republic.

It is anti-individualist, anti-capitalist, and anti-limited government. It aims —airily — at an equality of outcome, knowing full well that the endeavor, inevitably and historically, ends with an entrenched authoritarian ruling class.

It stamps out the free exchange of ideas in favor of enforced conformity and a dehumanizing move into tirelessly policed identity narratives that, should you stray from that approved narrative, renders you inauthentic, a “race traitor,” a sufferers of false consciousness.

Individually agency — with its desire for liberty — is recast as a defect; it is, we’re informed, an assault on the “Greater Good,” and so worthy of shame, punishment, and cancellation.

Equality before the law, inasmuch as it doesn’t coerce egalitarian ends is to the Marxist and their “progressive” fellow travelers, an outmoded relic of the Enlightenment, which leftists abhor and seek to re-define as systemically racist, imperialist, and steeped in a toxic brew of oppression and greed.

That is, the very mechanism that provides for liberty and opportunity needs to be replaced with unequal application of law: quotas, race-based affirmative action, “minority”-preferred contracts — even, absurdly and surreally, race-based mask exemptions, and permission to protest and riot during a pandemic provided you do so while adopting the preferred political stance leftists, Marxists, progressives (Democrats all) support and encourage.

Marxism believes history begins w each of its ascendancies. for this reason, it eschews history’s lessons and repeats its grotesqueries.

The Democratic Party — once the party of segregation, slavery, Jim Crow, and anti-Civil Rights — has simply repurposed itself through Marxism to achieve those same ends: BLM pushes racial separatism, anti-Semitism, and the destruction of both God and the nuclear family, which it seeks to replace w The State. It is anti-federalist, though it will employ federalist arguments as it suits their aims; it will use the courts to achieve its ends, often through cultural intimidation, only to rail against the courts when its agenda is held in check by law.

The left views our Constitution as an impediment, so it designs and promotes an incoherent hermeneutic that allows laws to expand and “live” beyond the legislative intentions of those who passed or ratified those laws — essentially garnering post-hoc legislative control over laws that never meant what they are now expanded to mean.

A constitutional republic that unionized w the understanding that the federal government is limited in scope, would never have come to pass had a top-down authoritarian system like Marxism or the pleasant-sounding ”democratic socialism” been the governing philosophy.

And so it follows that, should the terms of the contract between the states and the federal edifice be nullified, the states needn’t follow federal dictates.

Marxism is oppression. It is the iron heel. It is slavery.

And —crucially — since its implementation requires the overthrow of our system, it is quite literally seditious.

Marxists are traitors.

And we should treat them as such — while refusing to accede to their demands and dictates, no matter which instrumentalities of government they manipulate to install them.

I will not live in a country that seeks to steal my liberty, control my thoughts and deeds, crushes my spirit, and reduces me to some cog in an identity group that it works to keep at odds with some competing identity group.

Live free or die trying.

— and if that means we untether and reboot on our own, so be it.
