I believe Karl Marx is supposed to have said,"I am not a Marxist." Does anyone know if this is true? and if so, what the context was? Thanks in advance Carl Weidling

I've been unable to find out where he said this, but the general context was in arguing against the scholastic drivel which was being put out by others claiming him as a mentor.

As I've heard it, Marx was referring to the dogmatic and sectarian practice of the French socialists. He made the comment "I am not a Marxist" to his son-in-law Paul Lafargue. I don't know of any confirmation in print, though. Arthur Hochberg ..!ucbvax!mtxinu!rtech!arthur
