It makes no sense how anyone looks at marxism and thinks it's a good idea. Your mind has to be completely warped to see any merit in it whatsoever.

I agree The question isn’t whether an idea sounds good in theory. The question is what happens when it is put into practice.

Thomas Sowell remained a Marxist well into his twenties, even after studying economics at the University of Chicago under Milton Friedman. What changed his mind was his experience working for the Department of Labor in 1960. While studying Puerto Rico’s sugar industry, Sowell found that unemployment was rising as federally mandated minimum wages increased. He expected government officials to share his interest in whether the minimum wage law was actually helping workers. Instead, he discovered that they were more concerned with preserving the law because it provided roughly a third of the department’s funding. That experience fundamentally changed Sowell’s view of government. He realized that public officials, like everyone else, have their own self-interest and that they may preserve programs that benefit them regardless of the effects on those the programs are meant to help.

Thomas Sowell: "Frederick Douglas was truly a hero because he never saw himself as a victim. >He was a born a slave. >He escaped slavery, and later bought his own freedom. >He taught himself how to read and write. One of the ironic things is how students today can't understand the type of English language he used in any of his writings. This coming from a man who has never entered a classroom in his entire life."

Justice Clarence Thomas on the moment Thomas Sowell changed everything: A friend called him about a Wall Street Journal review and said, “There’s another black guy like you. His name is Thomas Sowell.” Thomas got the book (Race and Economics), read it like a man dying of thirst in the desert, and said: “Finally, somebody was telling the truth.” That book started a friendship that has lasted over 40 years.

Clarence Thomas explains to Peter Robinson at the Hoover Institution Sowell Legacy Conference how Thomas Sowell became his mentor: Thomas first tried to track down Thomas Sowell ("you might as well go after a white whale or something, it's impossible"), found him on a conference panel with Ruth Bader Ginsburg at a WashU St. Louis Law School in February 1979, and "like any good groupie, I chased him down to get his autograph on my 'Race and Economics' book", and in 1980, "he decided he would take me under his wings". They've been close friends for the past 45 years+

Thomas Sowell: “The Soviet Union was one of the most richly supplied countries with natural resources—and probably the most richly supplied.” “The irony is, one of the world’s great famines occurred in the Soviet Union... Milton Friedman once said that if the government took over the Sahara Desert, there’d be a shortage of sand. The Soviet Union was just that way.”
