Sticking to Marx is Harris' neocon flaw.

Marx is the 19th century description and analysis of the history of Das
Kapital. But history went on, the German example showed that "miseration
brought on by capitalism" not necessarily and automatically lead to
socialism. In the 20th century fascism was the answer of the "imperialist
bourgeosie" to the "socialist" revolution in Russia. In the 21st century we
have another definition (against totalitarianism of any kind) brought to us
by one of the finest living authors (guess who):

"those of fascistic disposition--or merely those among us who remain all too
ready to justify any government action, whether right or wrong"
