Thread Name: BS: Where Have All the Marxists Gone?
Subject: RE: BS: Where Have All the Marxists Gone?
There were lots in the 60's. One thing they complained about was not enough Marxist professors! One told me that he was very open-minded, and could accept the idea of one non-Marxist prof for each Marxist. (Try to extend that to every political ideology, and you soon run into logical problems.)

Weird how people change: Jerry Rubin used to say he'd die for the revolution. He became a capitalist, and died jaywalking.

All over the place folks are having their own "Road to Damascus" experiences. Atheist Christians, Christian Jews, Anglican Bhuddists, Christopher Hitchens, Capitalist Marxists and now a rash of Marxist Capitalists.

I change, but really slowly. At the current rate, I'll be a right-winger by 3745 Anno Domini.
