...is the website that I chose.
The article on this Russian website comments on America's descent into marxism. Marxism is the philosophy of Karl Marx, which states that society will develop towards communism through the struggle between different social classes.
The article states that Americans, or "televangelists" are selling their souls and their flocks to pledge allegiance to "one Marxist politician or another".
"They care more for their "right" to choke down a McDonalds burger or a BurgerKing burger than for their constitutional rights." - It's this particular quote, I would say I disagree.
The second amendment, is that American's have a constitutional right to bear arms (adopted on Dec 15, 1791) and there are many protests against this, as well as many other subjects.
American's care so much about their rights, that the 18th Amendment, the prohibition of possession of alcohol, was repealed by the 21st Amendment.
Personally, I believe that America is not growing into a commercialized communist, I just believe that this is the way it is being viewed from the outside world, particularly the Eastern countries.
I agree that America, as well as the rest of the appropriate countries, enjoy their "right" to have fast food, but I wouldn't go as far as to describe that this was America slipping away from capitalism and into Marxism.
