"I am not a Marxist" Le Voila' Justin

[Thomas Seay]

Justin,

I think MAYBE this is what you are looking for:

<<ce qu'il y a de certain c'est que moi, je ne suis
pas Marxiste" 

("What is certain is that myself, I am not marxist")

Ibid., p.11. Marx's famous remark, quoted by Engels in
a letter to Eduard Bernstein, can be found in Marx and
      Engels, Werke, Vol. 35. p.388
