The Basic Critique of the Marxist Doctrine

David Frum: We know what Marxism did in the 20th century if we want to keep our eyes open. Some people who are wealthy are wealthy because they take money from the poor, he says. But there is a big difference between some and all; ideologues say you're an oppressor when you have more than someone else. Frum: One of the pathologies of the postmodern doctrine is that there's no real world out there. There's just social construction, right? That everything we see is just a social construction,. And it's a powerful argument because a lot of what we do is arbitrary.
