I cannot understand why there isn't yet a movie of "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress". It´s such a fun, fast-paced book. All the serious stuff, and the historical parallels, working in the background while the adventure story is going on...
The man didn't say he was a communist, he said he was a socialist, they are not the same thing. He definately hit the highlights of the books. I often recommend "The Moon is a harsh mistress" by Robert Heinlein. He should have also included "Time Enough for Love, the Lives of Lazarus Long" by Heinlein. It is a long book but worthwhile. I would also recommend Harry Browne "How I found freedom in an unfree world".
@dishesdealer417 I have the moon/harsh mistress book - haven't read it yet. I liked the harry browne book. "Market for liberty" is a pretty good book too I think Morris & Linda Tannehill

All marxist converts are the best freedom fighters - we need more of them!
Italian industrialist Renato Crotti was very effective in converting communists - he would send them to USSR :-D
So communists feared him - they were afraid he might steal their faith.

The year ahead looks to be frightening and volatile. There is a silver lining of course.
