[The letter writer had been] a member of a Communist front student organization at University of the Philippines, but was so impressed with my critique of Marx that he typed the entire chapter into an email and sent it to all his Marxist friends and sociology professor. As a result, they all abandoned Marxism in favor of free-market economics, including his professor.WOW! I'd never before heard of a book turning so many people around just like that!

Thanks for the Ping!
David Bergland stated once in a seminar something along the
lines that of the same personality type or temperament that
most libertarians fall within, by far the tremendously greater
percentage were communists.
I came to think that the natural progression would be to prove
to them that individuality causes the egalitarian assumption of
communism to be false and therefore many might be persuaded
to turn away from it.
