  1. This article makes typical uneducated mistake of confusing Marxism with a desire for big government. Anyone familiar with the tenets of Marxism can tell you that its goal is the complete dissolution of the state. There is no government. Only associations of workers trading with each other for their needs. But, it is a real hot button word to tar enemies with given the politicization of the term and the dumbed down population that can no more list the fundamental tenets of the western liberal democratic state than they could tell you the difference between a derivative and an integral. Marxists, who believe the government is a tool of capitalist oppression and evil, are at the opposite end of the spectrum from Progressives who believe the government is good and a tool for dealing with society’s problems
    But the article is not meant to inform is it? It seems it is meant to misinform and more importantly build those emotional kneejerk responses to hearing the words Progressive and Climate Change. After all, you found a scientist and everything. That should be enough to convince your base that the rest of the scientific community is part of some evil empire intent on doing evil for what particular reason?

    Except that Marxism also calls for socialism–state ownership of all productive property–as an intermediate step on the way to the mythical dissolution of the state when communism finally comes to fruition.
