'Marxist' Kids?

 What's it really mean when some juvenile-behaving guy/gal tells you that they are Marxist in nature?

Well....it generally means ten things are revolving around in their head:

1.  They see class-warfare or class-unfairness constantly....wherever they go in life.

2.  They generally see social conflict around the clock.  

3.  Capitalism is bad....even if they are wearing Nike shoes, or lugging around a $800 I-Phone.

4.  They seem to think they are experts at urban-planning....even if they can't even manage their own lifestyle.

5.  Science has a single path (don't bring up the fact that science has multiple theories that sometimes conflict).

6.  Life is a continual struggle, and it's on their minds as they get up, and they prepare to sleep at night.

7.   Nothing is sustainable....meaning that everything is always on the verge of 'ending'.  The fact that Mountain Dew might not exist tomorrow....would be a concept they openly discuss.

8.  Everyone is pushed into tribal groups, and the more groups that exist....the better off this new alternate world would be.

9.  They generally regard welfare folks as 'peasants'.  In simple chatter....somebody (somewhere) has to fulfill this role.  If everyone were non-peasants, then the Marxism stuff would disappear over night.

10.  Wealth is a bad thing.  They will generally tell you that people don't know how to handle wealth.

In the end, you could walk into a room with a hundred such Marxists, and they all seem to want to control things and manage the big picture.  It's at this point that you realize that they all need a regular job (9 to 5), and some responsibility to fulfill their own lives before messing with other people.
