Let's not forget that Marx supported the Republican Party. He was a RINO, not unlike many of today's Republicans.
"Was Abraham Lincoln influenced by communism when the Union condemned the rights of Southern states to express their independence? It's shocking to think so. But that's precisely what Walter D. Kennedy and Al Benson Jr. assert in Red Republicans and Lincoln's Marxists. The pair completely reassess this tumultuous time in American history, exposing the "politically correct" view of the War for Southern Independence as nothing less than the same observation announced by Marx himself. During the American Civil War, Marx wrote about his support of the Union Army, the Republican Party, and Lincoln himself. In fact, he named the president as "the single-minded son of the working class."In addition to shedding light on this little-known part of our history, Kennedy and Benson also ask pertinent questions about the validity of today's federal government and why its role seems so much larger than the liberty found in the states it represents. Red Republicans and Lincoln's Marxists is a bold undertaking, but it's one that needs our immediate and absolute attention."
After a semester-long course in college on the "Historiography the Civil War," it was evident to me that the fairy tale about the high-minded Northern abolitionists versus the Southern slave holders was a myth disguising deep-seated economic rivalries unrelated to 'social justice' concerns (if I may apply a modern term here).
I am not aware of him ever speaking to Congress. I don't suppose they would want to hear what he has to say. I have come across his review of Paulo Freire's impact on our education. I am in the UK but as you can guess we are on exactly the same path. Here is a letter I wrote to my MP

This sounds like an interesting premise.

I agree James Lindsay has a depth of understanding of this matter that few others possess.
If you haven't seen his speech in the EU it is well worth watching:

I agree but there is no reason to it as it is an agenda.
