to which Carrol Cox commented:

    "Marx crushed this sort of blatant nonsense in June of 1865. He was
    arguing against an earlier expression of the childishness of setting
    struggles for a better life now against the aims of revolution: "

I just love this matter of proclaiming  the Truth by quoting from the Holy
Scriptures. But do you really believe that Marx position was to advocate
for actions he believed "contradicted the aims of the revolution". Of
course as an anarchist I believe that some of his politics did just that,
but even I do not think this was his intention, so I am surprised to hear
such a severe and I think unfounded critique of Marx from a Marxist.
