"Marxism is just an elaborate roleplaying fantasy for pseudo-intellectuals."
It constructs a fantasy about a world in which material equality and the eradication of social classes leads to a society in which only "intellectuals",i.e., individuals skilled at persuasive communications, would stand out from the individually undifferentiated "masses". As Marx himself said, in the future communist utopia, men would be differentiated only by their "innate intellects". It's clear what Marx and all his educated followers since thought about their own intellects relative to the rest of population. For anyone with intellectual pretensions, embracing Marxism doesn't take courage any more than it takes courage for anyone else to fantasize about winning the lottery and marrying a movie star. -- Chicago Boyz » Blog Archive » The Virtues of a Lack of "Imagination"
