1. This is an excellent column & thread from @PhilWMagness decisively rebutting @KevinMKruse & @gbrockell on the notion that Abe Lincoln had anything in common with the philosophy of Karl Marx https://twitter.com/PhilWMagness/status/1191521141736775680 …

Dan McLaughlinVerified account @baseballcrankThat Lincoln piece is so profoundly wrongheaded it's hard to know where to start. Lincoln's view of labor & capital was purely Lockean, & his view of free labor's sacrosanct right of contract was at odds with slavery then, as it would be at odds today with progressivism. https://twitter.com/williamrblack/status/1155508766131011589 …Show this thread1 reply 1 retweet 5 likesShow this thread
3. The historical Karl Marx was, at times, an interesting columnist, whose reputation would be better today if nobody had taken his ideas seriously enough to attempt them. But then, his economic theories drew directly from him being a vicious anti-Semite https://www.commentarymagazine.com/articles/karl-marxs-jew-hating-conspiracy-theory/ …pic.twitter.com/jcEcAroake
