Dialectics

Dialectics --- updated ----

The subject of dialectic could lead to some productive understanding PROVIDED that it is done honestly. That's the problem with Marxism, though. These people are in violent rebellion against truth, and they'll say so themselves. ( And they have said so.)

As a means of getting to the truth, it could be a good thing. On the other hand, Marxists like to adhere to a model in which the "truth" is malleable to the will. That could get you into another discussion altogether. For instance, what is "truth"? Does truth exist outside of human will? The Marxists would have to say "no", because they are quite opposed to anyone contradicting their point of view. There can be no truth in Marxism. It's a matter of whose will is the one that prevails. In other words, the lamb and the wolf in Aesop's Fable.

* The previous post was updated with a Wikipedia link to the subject of dialectics. That's in case you are not familiar. From the sound of the typical political discussion, you might as well be talking Greek with respect to that subject.

A sidebar here: With respect to the changing allegiances in the Democrat Party, it appears that it is becoming the party of "educated" white folks. I would put forward the proposition that anybody who uses the terms "left-right-middle" probably isn't very well acquainted with dialectics. If I'm wrong, then they DO know, and what they also know that they are communists. They are counting on the ignorance of others, who don't know any better.

For Republicans not to know this is shameful. How can you be opposed to Marxists if you don't even know what it is? According to the Art of War, not knowing your enemy may well cause your defeat even before you start. It is shameful not to know any better, and worse still if you do.
