Here is the point of vulnerability: Only quite well educated people can even grasp the ABCs of Marxist doctrine. And many of them are on the brink of privilege very early in life. I laugh whenever a " radical " gets married.I read that the wife of Eugene V. Debs always ridiculed his " socialism ". Such wives are the most conservative force on the planet.
At 68 I am still an uncompromised -if somewhat impotent socialist. I could flatter my strong character. But I never had " the wife and kids " to worry about.
Nothing surprises me much anymore-not millionaire " socialists " nor upwardly mobile feminists. That corporate glass ceiling- voila the enemy !

I did not read this book. I gave it away. Did I miss the synopsis on
the web site?? If I read it I would not have ordered the book. It is
about the communist/socialist who was instrumental in establishing
unions in the US. . . .and his troubled personal life. Not interested. I
have read other Irving Stone books I liked very much. I don't want to
read this one.
