Mother Theresa - Servant of the Devil?

Hitchens, as recently as 2009, again referred to himself as "a Marxist". Hitchens continued to affirm his respect for Marxist theory, including his 2009 article for The Atlantic entitled "The Revenge of Karl Marx". There he explains how Marx's economic analysis in Das Kapital has predicted many of the failures of the U. S. economy, including the late-2000s recession. In a June 2010 interview with The New York Times, he stated that "I still think like a Marxist in many ways. I think the materialist conception of history is valid. I consider myself a very conservative Marxist". He continued to regard both Vladimir Lenin and Leon Trotsky as great men, and the Bolsheviks' October Revolution as a necessary event in the modernization of Russia.[6]

From the same article. He is a Communist, he supported the Russian revolution.

Well I didn't know he self identified as Marxist.

I should have read on further

It's a surprise because he was a supporter of some right wing causes, he was very vocal in his support of the Iraq war for example.

Anyhoo I have been swayed by the evidence.

See how that works.
