Dishonest Abe Lincoln Was a Big Fan of Karl Marx, They Even Corresponded (Video)

A July 27, 2019 article in the Washington Post by Gillian Brockell was headlined, "You Know Who Was into Karl Marx?  No, not AOC.  Abraham Lincoln."  Following up on the New York Times' 2017 weeks-long celebration of the centenary of the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, the Post was doing its part to celebrate and promote Marxian socialism by crowing that "the first Republican president . . . was surrounded by socialists and looked to them for counsel."  The message being conveyed by the Post was that this is what all American presidents should do.  They should listen to and obey the Washington Post, in other words.

Much of Lincoln's socialilstic "counsel" came from Horace Greeley's New York Tribune, described by the Post as "the newspaper largely responsible for transmitting the ideals and ideas that formed the Republican Party in 1854," many of which were "overtly socialist."
