@ Virginia,
Yes, that's the closing phrase of the Declaration.
Yes, I read Darkness at Noon in college and was much impressed by it, especially the "grammatical fiction" of the "I" (or the individual) with respect to the collective under Stalinism, or for that matter under Nazism. This of course is diametrically opposed to the liberal (in the original, not the current, sense) value placed on the rights of the individual.
And as for Marx, I once wrote a dreary little poem about him:
Karl's Lament
Karl Marx is the name,
And oppression is my game.
It's been proved, time and again,
From Stalin's gulags to Phnom Penh;
From starving Kulaks in Ukraine,
From Mao's cruel Leap, with millions slain;
From Berlin's wall to grim Pyongyang,
Even an orangutan
Can see the heinous crimes of shame
Done for my cause and in my name.
Karl Marx is the name,
And oppression is my game...
