Toward a Marxist Interpretation of the U.S. Constitution

His views sound a lot like those expressed ^^here.
Taken at face value, the Constitution is an attempt to fix the relations between state and federal governments, and between the three branches—legislative, executive, and judiciary—of the latter. WRONG. The Constitution is a guideline for relations between government and the individual. By dividing federal government powers to keep eachother in check.
Marxists always presuppose that government has preeminence over the individual when in fact the opposite is why America was envisioned in the first place.
Ergo there cannot be a marxist interpretation of the Constitution -marxism and Constitutionalism are polar opposites.

A generation ago this was common knowledge to all Americans. Nowadays you'd be hard pressed to find any kid who even knows what America is about or why it exists.
