Marx, Darwin, the Serfs, and the Slaves

Karl Marx and his colleague Friedrich Engels published the Communist Manifesto in 1848 in the explicit hope of precipitating revolution, the desire being to free the worker from capitalist oppression.

Charles Darwin's abstract "On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life", published in 1859, later to become the timeless classic entitled "The Origin of Species", laid out his theory of evolutionary selection which holds that variation within species occurs randomly and that the survival or extinction of each organism is determined by that organism's ability to adapt to its environment.

Marx used Darwin's theories to advance his own, while Darwin and some of his academic colleagues found the leaps forward in the Marx (and Hegel before him) dialectism applicable (hopeful?) to their view of evolution.

In 1861 Tsar Alexander II of Russia signed an edict effectively freeing the serfs. He was later assasinated by revolutionaries for his troubles. With the end of the Civil War in the United States in 1864, her slaves were essentially emancipated, set free by their leader Abraham Lincoln. He was later assasinated by a secessionist for his troubles.

The social and economic pressures upon Russia of these freed serfs would ultimately lead to their Marxist revolution. The social and economic pressures upon America wrought by so many freed slaves would ultimately usher in Marxism through social programs and the Affirmative Action/Political Correctness/Diversity movement.

The Marxian government would destroy the economic, social, and environmental wealth of Russia, thus creating a vacuum that would implode 80 some years later.

How long do we have before Marx gets us?
