Let me take a moment to comment not specifically on this but on my own disillusionment. It's a strange personal experience to be raised believing that the evils of Marxism is this boogeyman of economic, social, and moral disenfranchisement, but then, I look around myself and observe the supposed ravages, but there is no shadow of Marxism to be found--it's capitalism. It's a strange thing to behold not unlike having been raised by ultra-religious and reaching the age where it becomes clear that there exist questions for which that system has no good answer.
