"This idea of Marx has proven to be as wrong as idea any ever conceived; more destructive in its consequences then any intellectual fallacy in the history of mankind. Since the Manifesto was written 150 years ago a hundred million people have been killed in its name. Between ten and twenty times that number have been condemned to lives of unnecessary misery and human squalor, deprived of the life chances afforded the most humble citizens of the industrial democracies that Marxists set out to destroy."
