“In addition to addressing the Chair, I also want to address any history or civics teachers dealing with America and make some requests to them tonight. In order to understand the current events and understand why I and some other people are so concerned about the outcome of this election, we must have a discussion of Marxism. All American schoolchildren should have an understanding of Marxism. To understand why over 30,000 American troops died in Korea, we must know a little bit about Marxism. To understand why over 50,000 American troops died in the Vietnam war, we must know a little bit about Marxism. When I think of Marxism, I think of three things. I think of their hatred of God and hatred of religion. I think of Karl Marx's thesis when he was back in college. It was in part titled ``I Hate All Gods.'' And, of course, I think when China bragged about getting rid of the last churches, so I always associate Marxism with the end of Christianity. Secondly, I associate Marxism with the elimination of the family as a social unit. As a matter of fact, the elimination of the family as a social unit was one of the original goals of Karl Marx. I believe he was already teaming up with Engels by that time. Finally, the desire to get rid of private property--by ``private property,'' it means: Do individuals have the right to own their own house, to form their own business, to buy whatever they want? Those are the three things I think of when I think of Marxism.…”
