Marxism is the most dangerous philosophy to arise since religion. Maybe that's why Marx didn't like religion...hmmm.
It seems obvious to us that Marxism is imcompatible with human nature. Few people are willing to work hard and produce just to have the fruits of their labor confiscated on behalf of "the people". To each according to his need, from each according to his ability is the road to enslavement and misery.
I also have observed that Marxism is an excuse for totalitarianism. It's the sugar coating that makes people believe their suffering is for their own good, and it's effective. Just look at Venezuela. Nonetheless, the best cure for Marxism is a **** stiff dose of it.
Helen Keller was caught up in the Marxist movement of the early 20th Century. Lots of people were, and their intentions were usually benevolent. Their experiences with Marxism certainly were not ours. Still, she should bear the responsibility for her affiliations, and her Marxism should be remembered, for better or worse.
