I read the entire thing. I'm not suggesting he is advocating for Marxism, lol. I'm saying that the case he lays out against western civilization suggests the truth of (supports) Marxist theory. Whether he was cognizant of it or not is irrelevant.Yes, yes, he does, you're not paying attention.
Obviously you did not read the entire address.
"I hope that no one present will suspect me of expressing my partial criticism of the Western system in order to suggest socialism as an alternative. No; with the experience of a country where socialism has been realized, I shall not speak for such an alternative. The mathematician Igor Shafarevich, a member of the Soviet Academy of Science, has written a brilliantly argued book entitled Socialism; this is a penetrating historical analysis demonstrating that socialism of any type and shade leads to a total destruction of the human spirit and to a leveling of mankind into death."
