Occupy Wall Street's Denial of Marxist Influence: Busted!

Newton R. Treehugger is simply one of many who were fed Marxist propaganda from the time they were in grade school to their very long and delayed graduation from a university. Unicorns and rainbows were promised. Meanwhile, they have found there is no demand for a degree in Gender Studies and realize they really don't have anything useful to contribute to the economy. As you might imagine, Newton R. Treehugger is very, very bitter.

We have mixed feelings about the Newton R. Treehuggers of the world. On one hand, they were told they had to go to college if they didn't want a job flipping burgers. So, they dutifully attended their classes and graduated, facing a very tough economy. Now a job flipping burgers may be all that's available for the moment. On the other hand, they didn't sign up for that. They signed up for a quick path toward the corner office. Or tenured positions. Or something like that.

While in college, they perhaps received the biggest mind-job ever performed upon a generation of students. While many eighteen-year olds left high school with the intention of learning something useful and getting a decent job; they instead got side-swiped by radical professors who condemned the American Dream. As far as these leftist professors were concerned, wanting to earn enough money to buy your own house was tantamount to kidnapping an American Indian and nailing him to a cross.

So the leftist professors went to work on the Newton R. Treehuggers, telling them that America was an Imperialist nation full of xenophobes, homophobes, and just plain ole' phobes who didn't know David Hume from Brit Hume. They told Newton R. Treehugger that Americans were selfish if they wanted to keep the money they earned. They said the victims of the 9/11 terrorist attack deserved it. They said capitalism was oppressive and ultimately unfair. (They just made sure never to invite their students to their home.) They joined Occupy Wall Street and outed themselves as a Communist.

So how is Marxism tied to Occupy Wall Street? A few items:

1. The protesters target corporations. Much is said about how "unfair" it is that a CEO makes millions of dollars while other employees make a fraction of that amount. This is a common strategy by Marxists. Create resentment and jealousy and then call it inequality. They conveniently forget the fact that CEO's know how to make the right decisions at the right time. This is uncommon in a group of employees and worth the compensation. Coupled with interpersonal relationship skills, a voracious appetite for learning, and the courage to implement change -- all makes for a leader who keeps the company ship afloat. (And workers employed...) Marxism has a big problem with capitalism. Because as long as people can individually support themselves, government is limited in its control. Marxists hate that.


2. The protesters try to put everyone into one big unhappy bunch. Government change cannot occur if everyone is satisfied. First, the masses need to be agitated toward dissatisfaction with the status quo before the Marxist solution can be presented. Marxism is very uncreative. The only thing it can do is fool people into thinking capitalism is a "dictatorship" where only a few elite are in control. The irony here is that Marxism removes what they present as "dictatorship" while replacing it with a true dictatorship -- one that is vastly more oppressive than anything capitalism has produced. Look at Cuba.


3. The protesters very "occupation" (squatting) of private property illustrates Marxism's repudiation of property ownership. Marxism claims that owning private property is the root of class division. So it's no surprise that the protesters are claiming they have a "right" to "occupy everywhere." Their recent clash with Trinity Church exposed their warped mindset. Somehow it's "unjust" for Trinity to refuse them squatting rights when their private property isn't being used (according to the Occupy Wall Street's assumptions.). Private property is, in the words of David Horowitz, "a bulwark of human liberty." Horowitz goes on to say this:

There are no democratic societies, or industrial societies or post-industrial societies that are not based on private property and economic markets. Those who make war on private property, make war on human liberty and human well-being...

And that's it in a nutshell. Marxism hates with an undying nihilistic devotion the idea of human liberty. They insist that a collectivist society is superior to the freedoms we now enjoy with capitalism. They work hard to disguise the constant failures of Marxism and its failed history. Marxism is not only alive and well within the Occupy Wall Street protest, it is the very reason for its existence.
