“It’s a catastrophe. It means that we learn half the lesson. We sort of learned half the lesson of the 20th century, right? And thank God we sort of learned half the lesson. But the other half has not been learned, and that’s not acceptable, not in the least. The data in the United States indicates that 1 out of 5 social science professors are self-proclaimed Marxists. It’s like, 'you’re a Marxist? Really? Seriously, you’re a Marxist?' It’s like, 'yeah, and not only am I a Marxist, it’s one of the things that makes me morally virtuous.' 'Well, what about the 20th century?' 'Well, that wasn’t real communism.'”
