"fundamentalist wokeism so prevalent among the youth is much closer to the ideal of Marx than to that of Hayek. Where reason, enquiry and intellectual debate are sacrificed at the altar of the new gods of identity, forced equity and lived experience. " Couldn't agree more. 👍
"Where reason, enquiry and intellectual debate are sacrificed at the altar of the new gods of identity, forced equity and lived experience." You seem to have never involved in any leftist/marxist circles, debates, extensive theory discussions or even seen one, and just assuming that just because a small minority of people are worshipping a person, that the whole movement is just flawed? Where's your reasoning sir?
Bracketing the two in the context of what America is, is something I wouldn't agree. Charles Munger has had lasting impact on the markets through out the globe and continue to do so. But you can't say the same thing with Kissinger. As in an excellent editorial in DT next the editor (https://www.dtnext.in/edit/requiem-for-a-warmonger-751790) argued that Kissinger was a war monger and two nations are following in his foot steps. Others can't afford it or not dare given the complexity of modern day warfare.

"Because no idea ever dies. Especially, a bad idea. "
This is going to be one of my personal favourite quotes of all time. Thanks RSJ for creating this gem.
