An excessive knowledge of Marxism is a sign of a misspent youth.
John McCarthy

As the class struggle sharpens in the U.S. Marxism will come into its own as a great popular study.
C. L. R. James

As the egalitarianism of Marxism is attractive to many, socialism could have attracted many followers in America, anyway. But there is no doubt that it could not possibly have affected us so widely and so deeply as it has, had it not been heavily financed.
B. Carroll Reece

At the same time, of course, Marxism arose - Rosa Luxembourg, Leninism, anarchism - and art became political.
Douglas Sirk

Because of my Marxism, I was not into myths or miracles, whether it was the virgin birth, the physical resurrection or casting out demons from an epileptic.
Lionel Blue

Beginning with adolescence, my political formation was oriented in the ideological direction of Marxism. It was natural, being that my thinking was influenced by an atmosphere of active critical resistance. That was the way it was during all of the dictatorship and up to the Revolution of 1974.
Jose Saramago

Darwin himself, in his day, was unable to fight free of the theoretical errors of which he was guilty. It was the classics of Marxism that revealed those errors and pointed them out.
Trofim Lysenko

For some years I deserted religion in favour of Marxism. The republic of goodness seemed more attainable than the Kingdom of God.
Lionel Blue

For us, Marxism is always open because there are always new xperiences, there are always new facts, including facts about the past, which have to be incorporated in the corpus of scientific socialism.
Ernest Mandel

If people don't like Marxism, they should blame the British Museum.
Mikhail Gorbachev

Marxism conceives of the new system of socialism as the necessary outcome of all previous history made possible and necessary only by that previous history.
Earl Browder

Marxism is a revolutionary worldview that must always struggle for new revelations.
Rosa Luxemburg

Marxism is always open, always critical, always self-critical.
Ernest Mandel

Marxism is an interpretation of history which explains the progress of society as a product of the expansion of the forces of production of the material means of life, that is, the development of economy.
Earl Browder

Marxism is essentially a product of the bourgeois mind.
Joseph A. Schumpeter

Marxism is like a classical building that followed the Renaissance; beautiful in its way, but incapable of growth.
Harold MacMillan

Marxism is the opium of the intellectuals.
Edmund Wilson

Of course, Marxism is an example of what Carl Popper would have called a 'World Three' structure, in that it's got immense power as an idea, but you couldn't actually hold up anything in the world and say: 'this is Marxism'.
Alan Moore

That is simply that Marxism has been tremendously fashionable in our time, so it has infected a very large number of major institutions in many countries of the world. So I suppose that we shouldn't be too surprised that it should infect the church as well.
Jeane Kirkpatrick

The classics of Marxism, while fully appreciating the significance of the Darwinian theory, pointed out the errors of which Darwin was guilty. Darwin's theory, though unquestionably materialist in its main features, is not free from some serious errors.
Trofim Lysenko
