Brechtian bilge

Liquidate a few million class enemies and you get a reputation.
According to the New York Times, Communists are harmless eccentrics who are just gosh darn cuddly.

I guess all those tens of millions dead, one sixth of the planet enslaved for three generations, a decades long cold war, and a world teetering on the choice between nuclear destruction or a new dark age of Leftist tyranny was something that just "happened".  Try replacing "Marxist" with "Nazi" while reading the article and see if it's still as cozy.

Yes, this is because the article isn't talking about real commies, but about a different creature, which Vladimir Illich himself called Useful Idiots.

Illich is gone, and aside from that pock-marked little toad in Venezuela, no one is talking about worldwide commie revolution any more, so the usefulness is gone. As for still being a bunch of idiots...
