re: Why are young white people so liberal these days.

They are trained in colleges to be Marxists

But the anti-West ideas they've been fed by their slick educators for now over two generations were presented to them more often cloaked as the pleasant sounding euphemism - "progressivism."

Most of them - including that pseudo bunch in Seattle who insisted they were "trained in it" - very likely know as much about Karl as they do about Groucho and his brothers.


Are these kids who can't answer basic questions dealing with government in general expected to go through the trouble of learning a system that examined entire historical epochs while being formulated by Marx and Engels.

Their attention span doesn't allow that degree of dedication.

It could be that in the course of their spotty, minimal educations somebody mentioned to them that there was this guy Marx who promised to make everyone equal.

Thereby making that one word their sole motivation.

We're into the 3rd generation of the progeny of the malcontents from the '60s.

Many who are in government making policy for the rest of us.

Who can possibly be wondering how we've arrived at this dubious point in our history.
