"The Natural Philosopher" wrote in message

Died age 75,of cancer.

"It is not the truth of Marxism that explains the willingness of
intellectuals to believe it, but the power that it confers on
intellectuals, in their attempts to control the world. And since...it is
futile to reason someone out of a thing that he was not reasoned into, we
can conclude that Marxism owes its remarkable power to survive every
criticism to the fact that it is not a truth-directed but a power-directed
system of thought."
