“Karl Marx got a bum rap. All he was trying to do was figure out
how to take care of a whole lot of people. Of course, socialism is just
“evil” now. It’s completely discredited, supposedly, by the collapse of
the Soviet Union. I can’t help noticing that my grandchildren are
heavily in hock to communist China now, which is evidently a whole lot
better at business than we are. You talk about the collapse of communism
or the Soviet Union. My goodness, this country collapsed in 1929. I
mean it crashed, big time, and capitalism looked like a very poor idea.”
