Amber Cummings, a transgender woman who lives in the Bay Area but has reportedly refused to reveal where exactly she lives, made a surprise appearance outside City Hall earlier in the week, responding to reporters questions about the anti-Marxist rally planned for Berkeleys Civic Center Park by her and her colleagues.
Cummings, who is associated with groups that have held three other rallies in the same park and has appeared in photographs holding a sign that reads TRANSWOMEN FOR TRUMP, told reporters that her event is not about hate speech or white supremacy.

However, according to the No to Marxism in America Facebook page, which is also hosted by Cummings, some 324 people indicated as of Friday morning that they would show up while another 880 said they were interested in the event.
On the events page, Cummings writes that in America we have Marxism being taught in our schools and communities. Berkeley is a ground zero for the Marxist Movement and we need to speak out and say NO to Marxism. This event is our chance to speak out and expose the plan of purging our nation from a free nation to a communist nation. We will not tolerate this in America. So we are asking people to come stand against Marxism.

(15,679 posts)"From an academic perspective, Marx's work contributed to the birth of modern sociology. He has been cited as one of the nineteenth century's three masters of the "school of suspicion", alongside Friedrich Nietzsche and Sigmund Freud,[238] and as one of the three principal architects of modern social science along with Émile Durkheim and Max Weber.[239] In contrast to other philosophers, Marx offered theories that could often be tested with the scientific method.[10]"

(13,875 posts)or socialism I quote "From each according to his means, to each according to their need," and then ask whether that was Marx, or was it Jesus when he instructed his apostles to go out and spread his gospel.
