From yesterday's New York Sun:
"Marxism is the opium of the intellectuals."
- Edmund Wilson (1895-1972)
"Marxism has not only failed to promote human freedom, it has failed to produce food"
- John Dos Passos (1896-1970)
"Marxists are people whose insides are torn up day after day because they want to rule the world and no one will even publish their letter to the editor"
- Mark Helprin (b. 1947)
"Most people who read 'The Communist Manifesto' probably have no idea that is was written by a couple of young men who had never worked a day in their lives, and who nevertheless spoke boldly in the name of 'the workers.'"
- Thomas Sowell (b. 1930)

Now we know who the perpetrators are - and two of them are still alive. How come?
