Reply To: State capitalist China travesties Karl Marx
Confirmation that the regime in China doesn’t want people there taking too literally its call to study Marxism:
According to today’s Times, the former head of the Marxist society wrote later:

To oppose the party was to oppose Marxism.
Same old story there, then. It seems that the dissidents might be influenced by Maoism even though Mao would have agreed with the professor. Still, independent discussion of Marx’s ideas can’t be bad. In fact it can only be a welcome development.
