A friend directed me to the following link:
jane haddam on why some love marx (http://www.janehaddam.com/chd/marx5.html)

Some of it I agree with, some I am not sure about. I hasten to call these she people describes intellectuals.

With the influx of marxist sympathizers to the board, I feel this is a timely find.

I love this line:


In the meantime, the rest of us should stop letting them get away with portraying themselves as compassionate, idealistic reformers who only want to relieve suffering and poverty in the world. That's not what they are, or what they're about, and we know it.


Know anyone like this?

Doubtful, "compassionate conservatism" has always been viewed skeptically by the press. If anyone is "getting away" with being portrayed this way its not them.
