Turns out, Karl Marx is still whispering in America’s ear—and too many people are listening.
When I sat down with Mark DeLuzio—a sharp-as-a-tack constitutional expert and global consultant—I had a feeling the conversation would be enlightening. What I didn’t expect was just how far Marxist ideology has crept into the fabric of modern America without most of us even realizing it.
We’re talking about ideas from 1848, folks. Dusty old philosophies that should’ve been tossed out with corsets and leeches. But here they are, alive and kicking—camouflaged as compassion, equity, and “progress.”
Marx’s obsession with class warfare (bourgeoisie vs. proletariat) was never just about economics. It was a strategy—a blueprint—for resentment-based politics. Create groups. Stir envy. Erase personal responsibility. Replace it with government dependency. And just like that, you’ve got a nation divided and ready to be controlled.
One of the more jaw-dropping moments in our chat was when Mark pointed out the Sixteenth Amendment—you know, the one that introduced the federal income tax. Surprise: it’s literally one of the ten planks in the Communist Manifesto. Before 1913, states had more control, and individuals weren’t directly taxed by the federal government. But Marx? He knew that if you can control people’s money, you can control them.
Then we hit the topic of education—and buckle up, because this one’s personal. Lenin once said,
“Give me four years to teach your children, and the seed I will have sown will never be uprooted.”
Creepy, right? But look at today’s schools. We’ve systematically erased real constitutional education, replacing it with ideological fluff that paints America as the villain instead of the miracle of liberty it is.
And while Marx gets his airtime in classrooms and universities, you almost never hear about guys like Nietzsche, who warned us that communism would cost millions of lives. Or Alfred Adler, who (unlike Freud) believed in personal responsibility and purpose. Wonder why they’re not on the syllabus? Simple: They don’t feed the victimhood narrative.
We also talked about identity politics, which is just Marxism with better PR. Divide people by race, gender, income, you name it—and sell them the lie that their “group” is oppressed. The irony? Martin Luther King Jr. already gave us the roadmap out of this mess. Character over color. Unity over division. But that doesn’t help those in power who need conflict to stay in control.
Mark’s solution? Start local. Elect people who actually understand the Constitution and aren’t afraid to defend it. Because here’s the truth: Washington won’t save us. But your school board, your state rep, your governor? They just might.
Thomas Jefferson said,
“An educated citizenry is a vital requisite for our survival as a free people.”
And he wasn’t talking about degrees—he meant wisdom. Truth. Civic understanding.
So if we want to break free from this Marxist manipulation, it starts with us. We study. We speak up. We stop apologizing for loving our country and our freedom.
Because when we know what’s really going on, we can’t be so easily played.
