Those who say that the totalitarian state of the Soviet Union was not "real" Marxism also cannot admit that one simple feature of Marxism makes totalitarianism necessary:  the rejection of civil society. Since civil society is the sphere of private activity, its abolition and replacement by political society means that nothing private remains. That is already the essence of totalitarianism; and the moralistic practice of the trendy Left, which regards everything as political and sometimes reveals its hostility to free speech, does nothing to contradict this implication.

When those who hated capital and consumption (and Jews) in the 20th century murdered some hundred million people, and the poster children for the struggle against international capitalism and America are now fanatical Islamic terrorists, this puts recent enthusiasts in an awkward position. Most of them are too dense and shameless to appreciate it, and far too many are taken in by the moralistic and paternalistic rhetoric of the Left.

I haven't seen Melvin and Howard yet.  Incidentally, PTA cited this movie as a prime influence on the dialogue between John and Sydney in the car ride scene in Hard Eight.
"Ernest Hemingway once wrote: 'The world's a fine place, and worth fighting for.'  I agree with the second part."

There's actually a movie, which I can't remember the name of, about this mobster who has a brain tumor or something. He has loads of cash, hijacks a car along with the driver, and drives to vegas to get back at his mob boss (or someone similar)... I think this was an HBO movie or something... its about 7-10 years old... anyone remember it? I remember that one being really good!
