One of the great myths of the left is that socialism is a movement of
the people, the working classes, or the poor. In fact -- as Frederick
Hayek pointed out long ago -- all socialist movements are the creation
of intellectual elites, liberally pollinated by millionaires. Karl
Marx was the kept intellectual of factory owner Frederick Engels; Bill
Ayers, a leader of the terrorist cult called the Weatherman, was a
scion of the American upper class; Katrina vanden Heuvel, editor of
The Nation, is a multi-millionairess; Michael Moore, leftwing
propagandist, is a multi-millionaire who has profited handsomely from
the "struggle." The Leftwing Millionaires Club is a very incomplete
list designed to illustrate this point and to serve as a reminder that
everything is not always what it appears. (Text: Frederick Hayek "The
Intellectuals and Socialism," in Hayek, Socialism and War, University
of Chicago Press, 1997)
