I do understand why Chris Hedges says he is not a Marxist . What passes for " vanguard party " Marxism for the past 100 years is morally , intellectually and emotionally defective. Karl Marx had some genius insight into the mechanics of capitalist system exploitation ( his still very cogent " labor theory of value " ) . But the self proclaimed Marxist revolutionaries of the 20th century invariably gravitated toward godless totalitarianism. But the CLASS STRUGGLE is an objective fact of life for working class people everywhere . And yes, WOKENESS, with its ideological base in the Democratic Party, was designed to " KILL CLASS POLITICS " . Doesn't phony " socialist " Democrat Bernie Sanders understand that ? I have hope for some form of CHRISTIAN socialism emerging , becoming THE vanguard of social justice progress if not self-defeating violent revolution. What good is LOGIC & REASON in a " vanguard party " if it lacks emotional intelligence ?
Inspired from youth by Albert Camus' sense of the Absurd, I try to be a voice for REASON in the growing darkness and moral insanity of global capitalism .
