Electronic article of the large left intellectual person Boris Yul'evicha Kagarlitskogo I repeatedly had to catch him on frank, when Boris Yul'evich set with self-confidence to reason about things which not nearly knows obviously. It the unpleasant opening fully removed a desire to read books, going out from time to time from under a feather this mister for me. In fact will consent very hardness to compel itself to squander time on an author which does not quite trust. In general, until now there was an enough publicism of Kagarlitskogo, which, me, will repeat oneself, I am forced regularly to watch by virtue of political necessity. But recently I had to make an exception out of this rule. The point is that under authorship of Kagarlitskogo a book went out «Marxism», in which Kagarlitskiy on his own words set before itself the problem to satisfy again nascent demand on marxism, it was for what required to write a «new course, the family introduction to the marxist theory». That, request not to be taken lightly. Especially as and an objective requirement in such labour, alike, is indeed present.

So, known both in Russia and in the west, the left intellectual person, acknowledged master, sets to write fundamental labour, neither anymore nor less than, as a «new course, introduction to the marxist theory». And it already, will consent, that case, when not to read it is simply impossible. And I took and read the book of Kagarlitskogo under the name «Marxism».

Will say honestly, to voice feel, which overfilled me during reading of this work very difficultly, because such connection of base-alloy, phenomenal insolence, ignorance and raving fantasies in a book applying on scientific character never meeting was not necessary before. First imagine 400 pages of phototypograph which is called to become a «new marxist course» practically fully without quotations and accordingly without every dispatch vehicle more than. All marxism appears in more than free interpretation of Boris Yul'evicha, the idea of which is fully delivered from a necessity to support itself quotations and Refs.s mischievous frisks without every scopes, at times twirling such subjects, that it take breath away. In general, in a book I succeeded to find two quotation: one of Stalin, one of Lenin, some quotations from Marksa and Engels in a book «Marxism» it is not found out by me.

But also these quotations do not restrain the surprisings gusts of author in any way. He them and leads not in support of some idea, but as cause for surprising fantasy. So round quotation from Lenin fantasies of Boris Yul'evicha played off especially like blaze. Reasoning about classes, Kagarlitskiy takes the following determination of classes from one known work of Lenin:

«Classes are name the large groups of people, differentiating on their place in the historically certain system of public production, on their attitude (mainly fastened and designed in laws) toward capital goods, on their role in public organization of labour, and consequently, on the methods of receipt and sizes of that stake of public riches, which they dispose. Classes are such groups of people from which one can itself appropriate labour other due to distinction of their place in the certain mode of public economy».

And as, will put baldly, freely and unexpectedly Boris Yul'evich comments Lenin:

«To all appearances, Lenin above this formulation thought many years, it at once had held him own. He searched suitable words, did not find. Lenin as a thinker was formed under influence of German tradition, he searched clear and clear determinations. This idea pursues him obviously. by years. And suddenly he writes the quite casual article. And it! Found! Naturally, not to forget, he quite not to the place it inscribes in the article about a locomotive. So quite casual journalistic material becomes sociological the classics».
