A Christmas Carol was leftist propaganda fed to children for generations.

Let me explain in more detail and explain my reasoning more fully.

A Christmas Carol is left wing propaganda we were fed as children. It is designed to corrupt the minds of children with leftist ideology.

In the beginning of the story, Ebenezer Scrooge is a good, honest, hard working man that is vilified throughout most of the story until he becomes a good little leftist. Show me one law he broke, one dishonest deal he made, one customer he swindled or forced into a transaction against their will. He was thrifty, except honest and diligent. His dedication to his craft, his company, and especially his employee Bob Cratchit is demonstrated when he gives Cratchit the day off for Christmas with pay while intending on working it himself. The man worked every single day of the year, including Christmas because he didn't want to let anyone down.

Ebenezer Scrooge lent money to people when they needed it most, both in times of trouble and to budding entrepreneurs. In the process, he collected a legal amount of interest. Customers approached him with an offer and if he deemed the proposal sound, he provided a service at risk that they might not pay him back at all. Businesses were founded with loans he gave out. Those businesses provided working men with an opportunity to give an honest day's work for an honest day's pay with which to provide for their families. Ebenezer Scrooge was an integral part of the community he helped build over the years and he had to be reliable. Bob Cratchit depended on him, his customers depended on him, the businesses and local economy and ultimately the entire community depended on him.

For his years of dedication, hard work, and loyalty, he is maligned in the story as some heinous villain, some selfish, greedy capitalist rather than celebrated for a shining example of hard work, perseverance, and prosperity. Later in the story, he is drugged and subjected to a long, torturous ordeal involving social engineering until he has some "awakening" which results in him inexplicably deciding to share his wealth with anyone he deems needier than himself. This all looks promising at the beginning, except in the long run has ultimately ended with economic devastation when it has been put into practice.

In reality, he had been morphed into a fiscally irresponsible scatterbrained fool that insists on throwing his money away left and right. He was potentially jeopardizing the financial stability of his business and has no idea of the eventual havoc that is about to ensue. While there will be a brief period of happiness at the beginning that will be accompanied by praise, what will eventually happen is that his business will fail, Bob Cratchit will be out of a job, many of his investors will be bankrupted, and his beloved community will be driven into hopeless poverty and starvation. In short, the situation will mirror that of many nations that have fallen for the mirage of socialism.

Ebenezer Scrooge was right at the beginning and his phrase "Bah Humbug" is the best response to the actual villain, that insidious, superficially alluring, yet ultimately toxic and destructive philosophy known as Cultural Marxism.

Ebenezer Scrooge was a good, law abiding, honest, hard working man that is vilified throughout most of the story until he becomes a good little leftist. Show me one law he broke, one dishonest deal he made. He was thrifty, except honest and hard working. He was not forcing Bob Cratchit to work for him. He even gave Cratchit Christmas off with pay and planned on working it himself. The man worked every Christmas day he was so dedicated to his craft, his company and his employee.

Ebenezer Scrooge lent people money when they needed it most and collected a legal amount of interest. They came to him. It was their idea. He provided a service at risk that they might not pay him back and he was part of the backbone of his community.

Then during the movie, he has some "awakening" and becomes some fiscally irresponsible scatterbrained fool and starts giving money away left and right. He was potentially jeopardizing the financial stability of his business. What would happen to Bob Cratchit if the business folded. His phrase "Bah Humbug" is actually the best response to Cultural Marxism.

What evidence do you have that he became an actual Leftist, and not just a good and generous neighbor, relative and friend?

You realize there's a huge difference. Right?

The fact that he left his business shut down and completely unattended for the day and was lavishly giving his money away like there was no limit showing no concern about anything.

Neither of those make him a Leftist. ????

I mean honestly, do you realize how ridiculous it is that you think anyone who doesn't work ON CHRISTMAS DAY is a Leftist or gives freely to charity from their own earnings is a Leftist? Those things are deeply conservative. Deeply free market, actually. Nothing "leftist" about them, maybe generous.

So maybe what you are is miserly. So just say that. "I'm miserly like Scrooge."

All right then.

You realize he was more properly a Leftist BEFORE his transformation, right? Citing the gov't to care for the poor, which is VERY much Leftism. Here:

• "At this festive season of the year, Mr Scrooge, ... it is more than usually desirable that we should make some slight provision for the Poor and destitute, who suffer greatly at the present time. Many thousands are in want of common necessaries; hundreds of thousands are in want of common comforts, sir."
  "Are there no prisons?"
  "Plenty of prisons..."
  "And the Union workhouses." demanded Scrooge. "Are they still in operation?"
  "Both very busy, sir..."
  "Those who are badly off must go there."
  "Many can't go there; and many would rather die."
  "If they would rather die," said Scrooge, "they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population."

He wanted them to go to work houses, not get a free government check. He believed in promoting self-sufficiency.

There were no "government checks" in mid-1800s England, you realize. The public work houses, where Scrooge wanted them to go, was the "government checks". So he was a Leftist THEN at that time, before the transformation.

You really didn't think this through at all, and are trying to make the point that generosity = Leftism, and you are failing very, very badly at this.

They were forced to work at rthe workhouses, not sit around and get paid for nothing. Otherwise, Scrooge would not have been for it.

Scrooge pre-transformation was more Leftist than post-transformation. He wanted whatever he paid in taxes to take care of the poor--"are there no workhouses?"--rather than private charity. THAT is Leftism. You are really making a poor and convoluted argument, and twisted generosity somehow with "Leftism". You realize that Leftism is collectivism and the govt owning the means of production. More pre-transformation Scrooge than not, but not really represented in the story at all.

Again, just say you are pro-miserliness and oppose generosity and be done with it.
