Did Karl Marx love America?

Did Karl Marx love America?
In 1864 he wrote this letter on behalf of the Workers’ International to Abraham Lincoln which was delivered to the US ambassador in January 1865:

We congratulate the American people upon your re-election by a large majority. If resistance to the Slave Power was the reserved watchword of your first election, the triumphant war cry of your re-election is Death to Slavery.

From the commencement of the titanic American strife the workingmen of Europe felt instinctively that the star-spangled banner carried the destiny of their class. The contest for the territories which opened the dire epopee, was it not to decide whether the virgin soil of immense tracts should be wedded to the labor of the emigrant or prostituted by the tramp of the slave driver?

When an oligarchy of 300,000 slaveholders dared to inscribe, for the first time in the annals of the world, “slavery” on the banner of Armed Revolt, when on the very spots where hardly a century ago the idea of one great Democratic Republic had first sprung up, whence the first Declaration of the Rights of Man was issued, and the first impulse given to the European revolution of the eighteenth century; when on those very spots counterrevolution, with systematic thoroughness, gloried in rescinding “the ideas entertained at the time of the formation of the old constitution”, and maintained slavery to be “a beneficent institution”, indeed, the old solution of the great problem of “the relation of capital to labor”, and cynically proclaimed property in man “the cornerstone of the new edifice” — then the working classes of Europe understood at once, even before the fanatic partisanship of the upper classes for the Confederate gentry had given its dismal warning, that the slaveholders’ rebellion was to sound the tocsin for a general holy crusade of property against labor, and that for the men of labor, with their hopes for the future, even their past conquests were at stake in that tremendous conflict on the other side of the Atlantic. Everywhere they bore therefore patiently the hardships imposed upon them by the cotton crisis, opposed enthusiastically the proslavery intervention of their betters — and, from most parts of Europe, contributed their quota of blood to the good cause.

While the workingmen, the true political powers of the North, allowed slavery to defile their own republic, while before the N egro, mastered and sold without his concurrence, they boasted it the highest prerogative of the white-skinned laborer to sell himself and choose his own master, they were unable to attain the true freedom of labor, or to support their European brethren in their struggle for emancipation; but this barrier to progress has been swept off by the red sea of civil war.

The workingmen of Europe feel sure that, as the American War of Independence initiated a new era of ascendancy for the middle class, so the American Antislavery War will do for the working classes. They consider it an earnest of the epoch to come that it fell to the lot of Abraham Lincoln, the single-minded son of the working class, to lead his country through the matchless struggle for the rescue of an enchained race and the reconstruction of a social world.

Answer by Thalia
Yes, in the C19th America was truly the land of the free with much equality, whereas Europe was still ruled by its kings and princes and powerful aristocracy.

His ideas were really just a type of peasants’ rebellion.

The places where communism was the most successful, like Russia and China, were the ones who had the most oppressive aristocracies and the poorest, most opressed peasants.

Communism never gained a hold in places like America, Britain and France because they did not have lots of unhappy peasants.

Do you support our presidents being part of secret societies?
what are their intentions if they are in secret societies? almost every president has been part of a secret society. Dont know much about Obama but he is the leader of the Council on Foreign Relations which is illegal under the U.S. Constitution for a president to be a leader of another organization at the same time as his presidency.

Answer by west coast

Answer by Edvado
WOW!
Arnold Schwarzenegger is a Nazi, and he made PRESIDENT?????!!!!!

Answer by pete
So you’re peering into the future. Arny, the Mister Universe for Satan, is going to be our next Fuhrer, I mean President?

Are you surprised that Secret Societies, who work for the super rich & the royalties of the world, would make sure that our -so-called- elected leaders are conditioned & formed to serve Mammon, or whatever other demonic title you feel comfortable with? If they did not follow the orders of their masters, they would die quickly. Then the WHORE mass media would jump on the band wagon & make it appear that some dirty looking Arab was behind it. Or, they might decide to frame some white peace advocate, environmentalist, civil rights promoter, etc.

http://www.newenglandancestors.org/pdfs/obama_bush.pdf

The site above declares that Obama is related to Bush. But look at the next site. He’s even closer to Cheney.

http://www.newenglandancestors.org/pdfs/obama_cheney.pdf

This site is the one…. http://www.newenglandancestors.org/about/7320.asp

There’s lots of sites out there that equate just about all world leaders as having connections to Satan Worshiping groups.

Are you guys calling your delegates about Ron Paul?
Will you help me call the delegates, to nominate Ron Paul?
This is the same way Abraham Lincoln got nominated… as Lincoln was the presumed loser… and was the underdog.

In this case, of Ron Paul, we have seen how the people support him, more than any other candidate. How so, might you ask?

His message, his brilliance, and his credibility. Ron Paul is not only a Vietnam Vet, but he is a Medical Doctor (the only candidate whom is qualified to talk healthcare,) and he is a 10-term congressman.. thats a pretty long time.

As being the only candidate to VOTE AGAINST THE PATRIOT ACT (Yes, Obama and McCain were avid supporters..) and against REALID,

he seeks to abolish the IRS, and pull our troops home from all over the world…

he has a vast plan for action, that never gets the chance to be heard..

Read: Revolution A Manifesto.

It is a guide to how America can work without the IRS, how we can re-incorporate the Gold Standar, pull our troops home and save billions, and re-make America into a country that produces, rather than consume!!!!

McCain and Obama wish to increase ties to the UN, both virtually have the same foreign relations idea… dont ask me, read it on the Council on Foreign Relations homepage.. which , yes, both are members on this council, which is not governmental, yet forms agendas and ideas on how to pursuade government.

Obama ideology will increase the size of the government, in fact, where we have even less control and freedoms over it. The same is true with McCain..

none of them ever speak of increasing states rights, and eliminating the Federal Governments role in your life.

FOLKS WAKE UP, YOU ARE BEING TAXXED ON TAXXED MONEY. Thats not even a conspiracy, thats common knowledge. You pay taxes out of your pay check, and than pay more taxes on what you purchase… on money that has been taxxed.

BOTH OBAMA AND MCCAIN SUPPORT THIS…. DONT SCREW UP!!! WE HAVE ONE LAST CHANCE FOR HOPE: Ron Paul!

The media would not let us advertise on the major stations, thus creating a problem with getting his name out there, plus many people believed that he had dropped out of the race when FOX news discluded him from the forum debate.

RON PAUL WON ALL OF THE NON-MULTIPLE CALL LINE POLES, ON FOX NEWS, AND CNN.

Fight the coorperate media celebrity superstars. The media wants you to vote for McCain and Obama, this is why they advertise them so fervantly. They believe in their messages, because big coorperation benefits from this.

Obama says he will tax the rich, and reduce taxing on the middle and lower class… but this is not as good as it sounds. When you increase tax on major coorperations, and the rich… they tax you back, buy increasing the amount of all merchandise, and goods that they sell…

basically, when the rich is taxxed, only the rich can afford to buy anything. SO YOUR STILL GOING TO GO BANKRUPT!!!!

CALL YOUR DELEGATE FOR RON PAUL TODAY. RON PAUL WILL ACCEPT THE NOMINATION IF US PEOPLE STAND FOR WHAT IS RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WILL YOU?????

Answer by AmericanAngel
Absolutely NOT !! NO thank you

Answer by Boomrat
Boy almost had me there until you said pull the troops home. See I think we need to fight the enemy of there not here on our turf. Soooo sorry charlie.

Answer by Albert Fish
It’s pointless. Delegates are the mainstream of the Republican party, who’s interests are different from Dr. Paul and his supporters. We need to vote in congressmen, senators, and local office holders who agree with Dr. Paul’s libertarian viewpoint and essentially start a new party to lay the groundwork for an America like the founding fathers intended.
