The scientific method itself implies basic objective values that can lay the foundation for a code of morality

"Here are four things every serious anti-communist should understand about Marxism: 

    "First, Marxism is not primarily a set of economic policies. It is a complete philosophical system built on the claim that private property and markets are the root causes of human oppression and alienation. This is why communist regimes did not simply make economic mistakes - they systematically tried to abolish the foundations of voluntary cooperation. 

    "Second, Marxism focuses heavily on social structures and class forces while leaving very little room for individual choice and moral responsibility. Individuals are treated largely as products of their class position rather than as autonomous agents capable of shaping their own lives. This deterministic outlook underpins both Marxism’s repeated predictive failures and its readiness to justify coercive social engineering. 

    "Third, the authoritarianism, terror, and centralised control seen in every communist state were not distortions of Marxism. They were logical consequences of attempting to impose a total transformation of society (and Mark understood that). Once private property and markets are rejected, coercive state power becomes necessary to enforce the new order. 

    "Fourth, Marxism has never died. It has mutated. Much of today’s identity politics, critical theory, and institutional “equity” activism draws directly from Marxist frameworks - simply replacing economic class with race, gender or other identity categories while retaining the same oppressor-versus-oppressed logic."

Karmelo Anthony was isolated in jail after he was taken into custody following his murder conviction on Tuesday.

He is now appealing his conviction as he prepares for his time in state prison.

Anthony was convicted of murder Tuesday and sentenced to 35 years behind bars for stabbing 17-year-old Austin Metcalf during a high school track meet in Frisco, Texas.

He was taken to the Collin County Jail and was in isolation at the infirmary within the jail, Fox News Digital confirmed.

Just think. When he gets out in 17.5 years on parole, he can run for President. Democrat, of course.

What’s there to say? We live in a racial supremacist culture. Under one form of racial supremacy, it’s impossible to give a white murderer the sentence he deserves; under today’s form of racial supremacy, it’s impossible to give a black murderer the sentence he deserves. Even in Texas! America may be further gone than you think, because our irrational culture has gained a psychological foothold on so many, including these jurors. Sad, but not even a little bit surprising. And don’t be surprised as crime goes up everywhere.
