By now, I’m sure it’s obvious that I’m no fan of communism. I’m concerned about its growing popularity among Gen Z, not to mention the nearly ubiquitous embrace of Marxist thought among college professors. However, until I watched Jordan Peterson’s recent interview with Paul Kengor, I didn’t realize how revolting Karl Marx actually was as an individual. Is he personally responsible for the hundreds of millions of deaths under the communist regimes of the 20th century? Probably not, but that doesn’t mean he was some innocent, naive idealist. He was a genuinely envious, cruel, and downright gross person—just like his ideology. Your kids deserve a warning before their professors get to work.
