Re: [Marxism] On Marxism's failure in the USA

[Mark Lause <markalause@xxxxxxxxx>]

n short, Marxism failed in the United States by not being Marxist.  Makes sense.

What then has been being built here for decades--or attempted?  We all
see this through the light of what we've been exposed to.  I've always
seen the American version of Marxism as leaning very heavily towards a
kind of Positivism--an abiding religious faith that you have a
scientific grasp on the way the world works.  As with other faiths,
the faith is seen as a virtue in itself and defined primarily through
an institution.
