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.

When Marxism is put into practice, God is completely removed from society and when God is removed, the society is doomed

Thomas Sowell’s journey away from Marxism is one of the most interesting parts of his story. He didn’t simply accept the ideas he was taught. He questioned them, studied economics, and changed his views after seeing how those ideas worked in the real world. Think for yourself. Question everything.

Thomas Sowell has described the Communist Manifesto as political propaganda rather than an objective analysis of society. His broader criticism of Marxism is that political ideas should be judged by their real-world results, not simply by how appealing their promises sound. Sowell always pushes people to look past the rhetoric and examine the consequences.

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 didn’t have an easy path to academic success. He left school at 16, later earned his GED, and eventually went on to graduate from Harvard, earn a master’s degree from Columbia, and receive a PhD in economics from the University of Chicago. His story is a reminder that your early circumstances don’t have to determine where you end up.

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+
