Contrast the wisdom of our founding fathers with the tyrannical European philosophy of Karl Marx, who along with the French revolutionaries, were the originators of government enforced economic equality through redistribution – this they call “social justice” and is only enforceable through totalitarian government power. Karl Marx in effect declared that you do not have a right (and certainly not a God-given right) to personal property creatively obtained, and the happiness that follows.

“In one word, you reproach us with intending to do away with your property. Precisely so; that is just what we intend.” Karl Marx

“You must, therefore, confess that by “individual” you mean no other person than the bourgeois, than the middle-class owner of property. This person must, indeed, be swept out of the way, and made impossible.” Karl Marx

“In short, the Communists everywhere support every revolutionary movement against the existing social and political order of things. In all these movements, they bring to the front, as the leading question in each, the property question, no matter what its degree of development at the time.” Karl Marx

“The proletariat will use its political supremacy to wrest, by degree, all capital from the bourgeoisie, to centralize all instruments of production in the hands of the state… Of course, in the beginning, this cannot be effected except by means of despotic inroads on the rights of property” Karl Marx
