A Marxism without the classless society at the end of history? Humbug.


OK, the children read Marx and praise his critique of capitalism.

But if they don’t espouse the classless society at the end history’s rainbow, brought about by the proletariat, or anyway the peasantry, or at last by the starving, exploited masses of the Third Word via revolution or evolution, this is not Marxism, nor even any of the various betrayals of Marx that lived by his name.

Many are those who know well they are not Marxists who nevertheless cherish his attacks on the beast, unfettered bourgeois capitalism.

Heck, you needn’t even be a socialist, for that.
