Of course, for these 'cultural Marxists' to have been doing all this really nasty and controlling stuff, so successfully, for decades, it makes you wonder why no-one in charge didn't just stop it.
A country where the ultimate measure of everything is currency.
A country where 'healthcare' is a codeword for 'insurance premiums' and 'fascism' is now a meaningless term, and affection for symbols, brands, flags and slogans has replaced humanity.
A country that incarcerates more people than anywhere else in the world (although its crime rate is actually medium), and where in direct contravention, they act like they have more liberty and freedom than anywhere else.
A country where lies are protected as free speech (as soon as someone claims free speech, you can be sure that what they are doing must be unethical, immoral, criminal, and/or perverted).
A country where people have killed others for nothing but that their victims are different in some way, and the firearms are easily available, and they just felt like it, and the rest of society just makes excuses and is incapable of actions towards changing the situation and protecting itself from the next one along.
A country where fiscal balance, duty of care, and equity are denigrated as 'leftism' by those who espouse violence, totalitarian conformity, and privilege.
A country where political division, threat of armed insurrection, and distrust of a Constitutionally limited and law-abiding government is called 'patriotism'.
That country. The USA.

the whole Bible is Jesus. if you want to discuss this we can start a thread in the religious section.
as for 'right wing', today's pundits don't seem to accept 'conservative' any more.
everyone is either 'moderate left' or 'far right wing'. as far as these (cultural) Marxists are concerned, Bible values are right wing.

I consider Christian values to be normal and mainstream.
its these cultural Marxists and progressives calling them right wing.

a reply to: SolveditSure, h e was studying and living in England but he wasn't practicing Marxism because then, there was no Marxism yet.
Do you have to practice Marxism in order to agitate for Marxism?

Some allegedly 'Christian values', aren't actually Christian, but are based in both traditions and the legalistic practices and prejudices that ultimately crucified Jesus.
I am sure that attendees of the Westboro Baptist Church hold that they represent exactly the same 'Christian' values.

But this is true of just about every religion, not just Christianity and Islam. I am not aware of any religion which doesn't have some subset of churches/members who identify with that religion while at the same time holding some extreme interpretations of the parent church's doctrine. Mormons, Catholics, Islamic, Jewish, Buddhist, Shinto, and/or all the 'Orthodox' derivatives, etc. are just but a few examples of many.
I guess I'm not following your point.

How do you "agitate" for something??? Is that like when you want Marxism, you like spin back and forth really rapidly until you throw your back out, and then Marxism shows up? Wow! Who knew!
If I would have known that I would have 'advocated' for Capitalism around the globe a long time ago!!
