Critical Twitter Theory

The use of "Marxist" as a pejorative is so clearly aimed at a vanishing segment of the population (old white voters, mostly Boomers, now. Who else remembers "Marxism" or "Communism"? Communist China resembles the USSR, economically, the way the USSR resembled America, economically. Not at all, IOW.) it's not even funny.

Not that Marxism has anything to do with "critical race theory," except when privileged white men denounce the latter, they prove it true.  Funny, that.

And "Marxist capitalists"?  Huh?

Nobody sold out working America they way Donald Trump did.  He's still grifting them.  I won't call them "deplorables," but the line attributed to P.T. Barnum is right:  there's a sucker born every minute.  Especially in America.
Can't really argue with that.
