The Persistence of Marxism Research Paper Text book
Soccio, Douglas J Archetypes of Wisdom 7th or 8th edition
1. “If anything is certain, it is that I myself am not a Marxist.” — Karl Marx
2. “Marxism is the opium of the intellectuals.” — Edmund Wilson
3. “If you are in Brazil and you grew up in a right-wing dictatorship, you think Marxism is liberating. But if you grew up in Czechoslovakia, and the Soviet Union is controlling everything and killing people, then you think capitalism is liberating. Neither of those two things are true and it doesn’t take a lot brains to understand this.” — Jose Padilha
4. “I would say that all traditional philosophies up to and including Marxism have tried to derive the ‘ought’ from the ‘is.’ My point of view is that this is impossible; this is a farce.” — Jacques Monod
