He seems to agree with Marx's ideas about capital. But, as far as I am aware, he doesn't address concepts such as dialectical materialism or other Marxist political beliefs.

If you look into his writings, there is nothing that revolutionary about them. Like many economists, he does not believe that the free market, left to itself, will result in satisfactory outcomes. Therefore, he supports government intervention. His Marxist ideas are evident due to his emphasis that this intervention should be aimed toward economic equality. It is always dangerous when academic writings which are normally full of nuance and qualifications are reduced to a political one-liner. So, the answer to your question, strictly speaking, is that Harris' father was a scholar of communist and Marxist economics, there was nothing secret about it, but that there is no evidence that he is "communist" or "Marxist" as those terms are commonly understood in America.


This is the correct answer. And the only known communist is Trumps father-in-law.

And Kamala. Which one are you voting for? Lol.

Where is this false rumor coming from and why are people spreading it?


So? Melania's father was a card holding communist party member.

Melania's father was a communist big wig in Slovenia and had a red Mercedes. Ruining people's lives with communist accusations died with McCarthy.

And Trump was a Democrat. Wise people recognize their mistakes and change their behavior.


+1

So was Ronald Reagan.

Really? How hold was Harris when her parents divorced?


THIS! I can't believe people are going on and on about the politics of the father when the reality is that 1) Kamala did not spend that much time with her father growing up and 2) they have been estranged for a while. It was her mother that had the most influence on her, not her father. But MAGA tries to keep making that connection because it supports Trump's line of attack that she is a "radical leftist Marxist" etc.

From her Wiki page:

By 1970, the marriage had faltered, and Shyamala moved back to California with her two daughters;[12][13][9] the couple divorced when Kamala was seven.[14] In 1972, Donald Harris accepted a position at Stanford University; Kamala and Maya spent weekends at their father's house in Palo Alto and lived at their mother's house in Berkeley during the week.[15] Shyamala was friends with African-American intellectuals and activists in Oakland and Berkeley.[11] In 1976, she accepted a research position at the McGill University School of Medicine, and moved with her daughters to Montreal, Quebec.[16][17] Harris graduated from Westmount High School in Montreal in 1981.[18]

So Kamala was 7 when her parents divorced and 13 when she, her mother, and her sister moved to Montreal where she lived until she finished high school. Her father was back in the US. It's highly unlikely that her father had much of an effect on her politics given that history.


Weekends at her fathers house so she probably had more quality time with him that during the work week with mom.


LOLOLOLOL. Tell me you were never a Gen X kid with divorced parents without telling me…


You could not be more wrong. I was just pointing out what the PP conveniently left out.

It's not a "secret," OP and it's not a false rumor. He was/ is proud of it. Sorry to disappoint you, but yes it's true. Wake up.

So? Arnold Schwarzenegger's father was a Nazi; Arnold became the governor of Ca.


Yes, there are plenty of idiots in California.

Well, he's richer than you are and was a governor of the most prosperous state in the US, so there's that.

Also, Trump is the biggest idiot (I mean.. he actually said Haitians are eating dogs and cats in Springfield during a debate). Plenty to go around.

I’m so confused that the party willing to bend over for Putin, who was an actual communist, thinks calling their opponent “comrade” is an effective attack strategy.

Not to mention Trump's ILs were actual communists themselves. It's like when they tried to attack Harris for an alleged affair. I mean.. really. LOL

Who the F cares what he was, he is hardly mentioned by Harris after she was an adult. She is not him. Focus on HER policies! #MadamePresident
