The subject itself is political. Close it. Please. Until then the best post remains:
Neo-Marxism has so skewed American politics that what most call "the right" is now mainstream America. What are the values of "the right"? Life, liberty, property, the pursuit of happiness, the right to be left alone. These are total mainstream American values. These are total mainstream universal human values.
Universal everywhere that is but on the left. If you want to talk history, let’s talk history. Marx held that there are no truths, it is all about power, and therefore anyone who has anything took it by force and oppression. Marx held that the capitalists were the oppressors. Couple hundred million dead later, whole nations economically and spiritually impoverished, Marxism died a total failure.
Until that is idiot French (but I repeat myself) philosophers reincarnated it as Neo-Marxism. No longer is it rich against poor. Now everyone is divided into every race, and gender, and ability, on and on endlessly on, all of them oppressed by the evil white man and his hateful patriarchy.
If you want to think, intellectually or otherwise just think at all, mine is the model to emulate. The model of the Enlightenment, the Age of Reason, of Thomas Jefferson, Abe Lincoln, Martin Luther King, Jesus Christ. The model of the divinity of the individual, the sanctity of life, of free and open inquiry.
The other model is the exact opposite.
Choose wisely.
