There must be a number of people on this list who can cite the exact text, which I can't, but I do remember its context, and it is a context which robs the phrase of more than antiquarian interest. He was referring to a specific small group of French communists who argued a theory that was in fact anti-marxist but they labelled it Marxist. Hence, if *that* is Marxism, then I'm not a marxist.
