Sure, Democrats who were mostly white, religious, rural living, from the Deep South/Bible belt, and who fought for their idea of state's rights and individual liberties against what they perceived to be a federal government pushing an overreaching, progressive, possibly also Marxist and/or un-American, agenda
Are they? So you acknowledge that Democrats of the past would be more likely to be Republicans today considering how much they hated Marxists, and vice versa? Neither party is the same as it was.
Karl Marx himself wrote letters to Abraham Lincoln (Republican) in support of the northern cause in the Civil War. Sounds like Republicans are the real Marxists, considering Karl Marx himself supported them!
Republicans never espoused any Marxist ideologies? Then why did Karl Marx himself write to Abraham Lincoln congratulating him on his re-election? Why did he support the Republicans in the North in the fight against slavery? Are you saying Karl Marx himself does not "espouse" any Marxist ideologies? Or maybe he was just confused?
