About this Quote

This quote by Barbara Amiel speaks to the naivety of the people who thought in the Marxist ideology. It suggests that individuals were so desperate for a service to the wrongs in society that they were willing to accept the Marxist service without concern. They were so blinded by the promise of a much better future that they stopped working to recognize the defects in the Marxist ideology. Amiel is implying that the people were too trusting and stopped working to acknowledge the capacity for fraud and distortion in the Marxist vision. This quote acts as a suggestion to be more important and critical when thinking about options to social problems. It is important to be familiar with the potential for manipulation and to be conscious of the prospective consequences of any proposed service.
