The United States and the marx Dialectic

In my opinion, what is at work in this country is related to theories developed by Karl Marx, and we all know what a sweetheart he was. Although the idea was not an original of marx, but borrowed from the German Philosopher G.W.F. Hegel. However, Marx did see history through what he called the dialectic lens. According to the dialectic, changes always follow a certain pattern. The pattern has three stages called the theseis, antithesis, and the synthesis. The thesis is the current modus operandi, soon another idea, the antithesis challanges the thesis. these two stages are looked at through the dialectic lens, do battle, and what emerges is called the synthesis, which becomes the new thesis. Over a period of time this process of evolution will ultimately repeat itself. I think what is happening now is the U.S. Constitution (thesis) is in a life and death struggle with the utopian socialist element (anthesis). The synthesis is yet to be determined. If this comes to fruition, and the utopian socialist society prevails, America as we know it will cease to exist. We will become the detrirus of this Rock of Gibraltar, that was once America. Unfortunately , the uninformed /ignorant masses have elected a radical Marxist as our President. God help us..........or am I not allowed to say that for fear of offending someone?
