As the economically and historically illiterate, as well as morally bankrupt, propose to breathe life into that Frankenstein monster, state socialism, it is time to recall the late-in-life words of the erstwhile Marxist, Max Eastman:

“It seems obvious to me now – though I was slow coming to the conclusion – that the institution of private property, the dispersion of power and importance  that goes with it, has been a main factor in producing that limited amount of free-and-equalness which Marx hoped to render infinite by abolishing this institution.”
