I note your remarks and will wisely keep out of the discussion on the character of Karl Marx. Working class myself from London. I would like to say something having read of the London life of Marx. My own history is of having ancestors in London from 1844. The struggle for survival in Victorian London is well documented.

London Labour and London Poor.

The saving grace of that era is that though Marx was chased from Germany, Belgium and France. It was London that gave him political asylum. It did so for many others. Marx did not suggest anarchy in England itself. True he would have been severely dealt with, had he had done this.

Marx was shaped by the misery he saw about him. (Excuse my rant).

I read that book - it was quite an eye-opener.
