A document from the period when socialists were unabashedly Promethean.....

Last year I had a little bit of a to and fro with David Horowitz over Marxism via e-mail. He says a major influence on him rejecting Marxism was L. Kolakowki's three volumes from Oxford Univ. Press on marxism. A big theme of these vols. is the Promethean hubris of Karl. (BTW, for those who haven't dipped into Kolakowski these are great reads. Don't let the Horowitz endorsement scare you away. An earlier work which Grove Press published under the title, "Towards a Marxist Humanism, " is the only book ever blurbed by both Tom Hayden and Sidney Hook!) The Horowitz screed on Marx in which he remarks on Marx is in, "The Politics of Bad Faith." Came out last yr. in pb.
