Can you fellow Conservatives explain to me what Marxism is?

I just read the Communist Manifesto and it confused me because it didn't mention Obamacare.

But his buddy Engels was OK, right?

Some of this Marx stuff seems a bit like Trump. They are both against the establishment.

@Karlbodge: Engels had old money,he was part of the elite because of it..Marx was preaching about how the world should be,while Engels paid his rent and groceries..like a princess

Except when he earned dimes as a journalist, newspaper editor and author, right?

@Ynotisay: he rarely got paid,nobody wanted to pay for it..

@Ynotisay: you know..mr marx should have walked the walk,before he talked the talk..

Yeah, good point. The dude should have done a collective world-wide revolution his own damn self.

@Traubi: Nah. Not true man.

@Ynotisay: he was kept man..look it up

@Traubi: Hey dude I think we are contradicting ourselves. We are talking about politics but not running sh^t so how can we hate on the left for that.
Ynotisay · M
@Traubi: I'd rather look up how many of his volumes of books sold out when he was alive.
You know, just because you don't dig someone doesn't mean you need to turn away from the truth. I'm no Karl Marx fan. Sort of a fan of facts though. Did Engels help support him? Yes. Did he "never make a dime?" Hardly.

@Ynotisay: I believe in facts too,but don't preach about dividing in the ocean when you never actually performed a single stroke in it right?
SW-User
@Karlbodge: I don't hate anyone,just don't like hypocrites..

@Traubi: Uh...what? I think you might have messed up your little saying. Try again so I can understand what it is your trying to get across.
Just remember, it was you who said "the guy never earned a single dime in his life."

@Ynotisay: oh ,diving..not dividing..sorry,autocorrect..my point is that he was a kept little bitch trying to be a smartass,while Trump actually advanced in business and knows how to earn MONEY,which you know..you will need to survive in our current civilization.. clear enough?
Ynotisay · M
@Traubi: Nah. Not really clear to me. Of course, you don't know who I am, what I do or what I earn so I'll just write it off.
When people use words like "never" I should probably just turn away. Tells me most everything I need to know. But sometimes I just can't help myself. Thanks for the explanation though.

@Ynotisay: Trump will run the country like a business,he is at least as capable as the presidents before him..that's the bottom line
Karlbodge · 22-25, M
@Traubi: He will run the country like Celebrity Apprentice. He sit above other people talking about how great he is and fire them.

@Karlbodge: I honestly think he will do a good job..he understands that in today's society popularity is very important.He is not stupid,simply uses all the tools available to get ahead-like everyone else-look what's going on in Europe..it's a mess.With Hillary in power,the states would have faced the same
