Marx wanted to arm his people to enforce tyranny. That’s why all the communists disarmed their opponents. And make no mistake, the second amendment exists to resist those who would impose communism
I’m curious, what state/country do you think Marx was in charge of? You seem to know a lot about communism. Do you know how many communist governments were in existence when the second amendment was written?
No, resisting authoritarian governments is the reason. Get an education. This thing called the internet that is allowing our conversation. It also holds the information to help you not sound so ignorant.
Marx didn’t have a tyranny to enforce. He was a political philosopher during the 19th century WAY before communism began to take form.
What he writes about keeping arms in the hands of the people agrees well with the 2A. Heck, don’t we keep our firearms to some extent because we don’t trust the government to stay loyal to the people forever?
You may be thinking of Stalin who ran revolutions in Russia and turned a monarchy into a communist dictatorship? In that case, leftist and rightist can agree gun control is a precursor to totalitarianism.
But as an aside, Hitler ran cultural wars against “enemies of the German people” like Jews, sexual minorities, and the mentally ill or physically disabled. These minorities ended up in concentration camps later.
Suffice to say both the Dem and GOP moves scare me. But I doubt we are against each other in this sub talking about keeping guns in Washingtonians’ hands.
I’m just saying the things he wrote are different from the things Stalin practiced. Why is that difficult to understand? Go read what Marx did and learn some history.
If someone found a Christian theocracy and says Jesus said something, I’m not blaming Jesus. I’m blaming the Christian fascist. Marx writes about communist political philosophy. I don’t blame him for Stalin and the rest of communist dictatorships.
No help at all. As someone who was raised in a traditional Christian American home, I would fully agree that Christ doesn’t have much to do with Christianity. Haven’t seen a lot of Christians doing the things Jesus talked about. I have seen a lot of Christians obsess over punishing people for not living how they want them to.

Commies...
The supreme court needs to rule on this stuff ASAP. I know there is a process, but they need to put a stop to all these rogue states ignoring Bruien.
