The New Left: The Anti-Industrialist revolution

“And so today we see the spectacle of old Marxists blessing, aiding and abetting the young hoodlums [the new leftists] (who are their product and heirs) who proclaim the superiority of feelings over reason, of faith over knowledge, of leisure over production, of spiritual concerns over material comforts, of primitive nature over technology, of astrology over science, of drugs over consciousness.

“The old-line Marxists used to claim that a single modern factory could produce enough shoes to provide for the whole population of the world and that nothing but capitalism prevented it.

“When they discovered the facts of reality involved, they declared that going barefoot is superior to wearing shoes.”

~~an Ayn Rand quote~~
