"Marxists have failed to gain power because they think too much" is one hell of a liberal elitist take from the author of this article.
This is exactly what I was thinking of. American liberals are almost entirely ignorant of how much violence their government exports -- and especially how much of it is targeted specifically at leftists. Marxists haven't gained power in the US because any time they started to build working-class support they got murdered.
