What is this? A book, an article, a you tube?

Do you have a link?

Walker,

You committed the cardinal sin: you assumed folks would be curious enough to mebbe google American Marxism by Mark R. Levin.

No, you have to spoon feed it to them.

:lol:

If RC is serious then there are implications in such ignorance that don't need his verification.

Come to think of it, the same can be said if he's not serious.

Are you serious?

Marx once said "The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways. The point, however, is to change it.".

If anybody who wants to change the world is a Marxist, then I don't think I have ever met any non-Marxists.

Levin makes the point that Marx was not a philosopher.

Neither was he an economist.

He was a journalist.

Dear reader.
If dear reader has any sense he won't be serious either.

“Dear” confers a seriousness not always received.

i don't think so, Gates changed the world, Ford changed the world, there are ways to change the world without trying to get everyone else to do it for you like a Marxist would.

Where in the quote that I presented did Marx say who should be changing the world and on whose behalf?

In Marxist terms, the world refers to the social/political world. There are a great many people in this world who have no interest at all in changing that world, because it would mean changing others.

I'm sorry if the only acquaintances you have are those who cannot live without meddling in others' lives.

In non-Marxist terms the world is the world. Society is just a small part of the world, and politics is just a small part of social life.

There are great many people who have interest in changing the world for the better. People who invent choice so that others have more of it.

I'm sorry if the only acquaintances you have are those who can't even change their underwear, let alone their minds.

then what does this imply:
"If anybody who wants to change the world is a Marxist, then I don't think I have ever met any non-Marxists."
