Patrik Engellau was a staunch '68 Marxist. He read all four volumes of Karl Marx’s *Capital* and belonged to the generation that believed they would change the world. In this interview, he speaks candidly about how that belief faded.

From the idealism of the “60s and ”70s, through his work at Sida and the UN, to the bitter reality when he saw how the “liberated” socialist state actually functioned. And how Birgitta Dahl reacted when he dared to tell the truth. A personal and honest account of why one of the 1968 left’s own left the ideology behind.
