Marx, the darling of many intellectuals past and present, sanctioned 
totalitarianism:

"Of course, in the beginning this (the revolution) cannot be effected 
except by means of despotic inroads on the rights of property . . ." 
(parens added)  -- Communist Manifesto
"As in Europe, in the 1920s and 1930s numerous American intellectuals 
sympathized or joined the Communist Party in the United States as 
young activists." -- Wikipedia 
The haste by some here to defend Marx speaks volumes.
