Thomas Jefferson was a horrible man who owned 600 human beings, raped them, and liter

Earlier this week, a room connected to the Monticello home of Thomas Jefferson was discovered to have been the living quarters for Sally Hemings. As the news broke of the discovery, many headlines referred to Hemings as Jefferson's mistress. But she was not a mistress.

Wow, what a painful truth, for many people who have lived in the darkness about the real truth of the US Revolution, which was not really like a revolution, because a revolution is really an oppressed poorer class overthrowing an oppressor richer class. It was more or less like a war of independence, but not an economic social revolution. That's why many marxist leftist historians claim that USA is really the continuity of the English Empire, like a sort of clone. Like Mcdonalds and Burger King who have different names but sell the same kind of food. So UK, USA was like the continuity of the evil ultra-right-wing Roman Empire. Maybe that's why the great majority of people in USA have an imperialist abusive ultra-individualist behaviour pattern. Because there is a theory that states that the ruled class of nations adopt the same behaviour patterns of their own ruler class. And maybe that's why the great majority of people in America are so mysanthropist, evil and immoral, just like the ruling class of USA

You obviously have absolutely no clue as to what a revolution is. You have absolutely no understanding of what Marxism is. Probably why you have a picture of Morales, a neo-liberal (irrelevant of what he claims he is), as some sort of model for people.

The rest of your paragraph is, sorry to say, absolutely and utter drivel. The "evil-right-wing Roman Empire"? LMAO. The intellectual level of this site has dropped so low its actually stunning. The Disney-like sprinkling of "evil" is cute too.

No, Thomas Jefferson was not "an evil rapist". To have even a decent debate about this it is required that the people who do the debating are not abject idiots. Thomas Jefferson, in the context of the 18th century, was a direct continuation of Enlightenment humanism, expounded formal "democracy" and actively sought to eliminate any trace of monarchism. That means that regardless of anything he did, he was progressive.

This sort of dumpster thinking is why the left is so fucking lost today. A bunch of masochist idiots crying around waiting for a Gallahad to take them upon his horse as opposed to actual, hard work that entails an erudite understanding of the world we live in.
