Marxists are a much bigger danger than ISIS.

Most, if not all, Marxists today are philosophers, rather than murderers.
Daesh, not so much...
Something tells me ole JohnnyBoy here is American, which means neither is a particularly huge threat to him.
@WhiteNoise
AFAIK there are three remaining countries in the world that are officially Marxist: China, Vietnam and Cuba. (And I'm not sure if China counts because I don't know the exact differences between Marxism and Maoism.)
@The Reptilian Jew
While they are officially a communist country, China definitely doesn't follow Marx in any meaningful way. I think they can be best described as a maoist party dictatorship which is economically capitalist (to a degree even worse than the US sometimes), socially maoist, definitely not Marxist as far as I can tell. Which means that according to JohnyBoy, we should fear Kuba and Vietnam more than ISIS. Which is actually quite hillarious.
The Taliban destroyed priceless UNESCO World Heritage-listed statues of Buddha in Afghanistan.

Enjoy your paradox, Johnniepoos.
...oh, and fortunately restoration of said Buddhas is under way. The Taliban slimebag responsible for ordering the destruction of such is now under the ground: due to he being assassinated a decade ago.
I guess we Brits are infinitely more civilised .
Confused?
