Abstract

Both Karl Marx and Vladimir Lenin would be pleased if they could see how, thanks mainly to Republicans, their doctrines have been realized in the United States. Marx taught that the economic base—who owns what—determines the superstructure of politics and culture. The superstructure creates an educational system and mass media that foster a “false ideology.” This world view assures people that, America’s arrangement between haves and have-nots is as good as it gets. Capitalism’s false ideology says government is for the people when it is really a tool to exploit workers and farmers.
