Says who? You? Carrol? The Marx who wasn't a Marxist? Where do you guys get the cojones to issue proclamations like this?

It's from Lenin's little-known pamphlet "Thinking: an Infantile Leftwing Disorder." :)

^^^^^^

CB: You should hear the names Marx called people, like philistines, fishblood petty bouorgeois. Read _Capital_ and you'll see Marx was tougher than Lenin on people.

You guys are just as authoritarian in claiming to represent Marx. You misrepresent him when you pretend he was a liberal. He was very strict and rigorous, harsh on many. Check out his characterizations of Proudhoun. Check out the way Engels talks about Duhring.
