Rubio takes aim at 'soulless global bureaucrats' pushing Marxism to undermine America

In a speech Friday, Rubio will outline how Marxism still has a strong presence in Western society, particularly amid protests against the administration and Western beliefs. The remarks previewed by Fox News show he plans to argue that the postwar international order has been turned against the country that built it.

Rubio will address the Federalist Society at the National Lawyer's Convention, targeting global bodies he says use law as a political weapon rather than delivering justice. He plans to defend the administration's sanctions on the ICC, which he calls 'an unelected world tribunal.'

Marx's Enduring Influence

Even as we defeated the institution of Soviet communism, we did not triumph over the spirit of Marx,' Rubio is expected to say. He argues that Marxism lives on in new forms that seek to abolish distinctions between nations, not just men.

Funding Network Concerns

Fox News Digital investigations have found that the 'spirit of Marx' has storefronts, syllabi, and fundraising apparatus in America's nonprofit world. The investigation traced $22.44 million to The People's Forum and $16.76 million to Tricontinental through Neville Roy Singham's funding network.

Singham, who sold his technology company ThoughtWorks, directed $285 million to nonprofits and media organizations. His wife, CodePink co-founder Jodie Evans, and Singham live in Shanghai, China. Their network supports organizations promoting Cuba solidarity, Venezuela advocacy, and anti-American messaging.

Organizational Marxism

Within the Singham network, Tricontinental identifies 'national liberation Marxism' as its anchoring tradition. The People's Forum's 1804 Books bookstore sells Marxist literature, including works by Marx and Engels. Other organizations like the 'Marxist Education Project' and 'People Before Profits Education Fund' explicitly embrace Marxist ideas.

Sen.-elect Abdul El-Sayed recently called America a 'chief violator' of international law, echoing language used by Singham who argued the existing international order was built on a false narrative of World War II and called for a 'new world order' based on Chinese multilateralism.
