Re: [OPE] Marx criticizing the left

Hi, Dogan,

It is not the quote that Jurriaan extracted from Draper's book. I think it belonged to a letter from Marx, perhaps to Engels. What he was saying is something like the following (if you allow me to change entirely the context):
"I shold criticize the PSOE (Partido Socialista Obrero Español, "left") before the PP (Partido Popular, "right") because the former is "closer" to me, and the closer people are politically, the more necessary is to reveal how the things really are. I don't know if Marx was referring to politicians or to intellectuals and writers: I think it was the latter.

None of you remember this passage?

Cheers,
Diego

  Dear colleagues,

  I cannot find a passage by Marx where he explains or/and justifies precisely why he more often and more sharply criticizes the leftist writers, comrades and politicians than the right-wing ones. Do you remember where to find it? Can you reproduce it for the list?

  Thanks,
  Diego
