His views are well established in the US and families in the county I live in are required by the Juvenile and Domestic courts to take his "Family Classes." Which teach that the state has all power over you family. [/quote] I wont go into this stuff in detail as this thread is about the Constitution. This much I will say. Marx was quite clear that he was not talking about states. States are a feature of mercantilism cum early/middle capitalism. As capitalists begin to co-operate across borders (such as hedge funds and multi-nationals), money takes on a global character. He never said anything about Little Joe getting bread and soup from the state kitchen as he was looking at the economics of capitalism and the poor guy is dead and can't set the record right. Plus his books are heavy on the brain. Of course, many have sought to make him into a Robin Hood character [/quote] Robin Hood? Nope, that's not how I would describe him. Rich man developing controls for the rest of us in order to keep is status quo? Yes, that is exactly who he was. [/quote] Oh well, I can't change your mind and I guess, [b]these ideas give your life some meaning.[/b] In any event, Marx did point out that as globalisation progressed, some would be bewildered and confused. When you get all conspiratorial about rich people, ask yourself, how would you behave were you to have a bank full of personal wealth. Wouldn't you invest in the most profitable country. Don't make demons of the rich. They are you and I. They just happen to have more. However, one day, this party will come to an end. [/quote] Who are you to know what gives my life meaning? See, this is why I don't like Marx. He made assumptions about EVERYONE that have no merit. I happen to realize that a poor man has never given anyone a job. But that doesn't mean that I believe the CEO should be making 10,000 times more than the men actually doing the work. [/quote]

Okay, so with all the BS secession shit going on, it makes me question the civil war, if all these rednecks, and so-called rebels believe the civil war was about states rights (which i can see, but what state rights were being provoked by the union? anti-slavery laws or what) how could the south, being Christians and followers of Jesus, justify using slaves the way they did to achieve proficient income.
