The corpse of Karl Marx

Socialists need to throw off the cold corpse of Marx, give it a decent - but permanent - burial and recover the vitality of ethical radicalism, with all its humour and rootedness. In place of the poisonous legacy of Marxism with its sterile and false scientism, ludicrous infighting, nonsensical sectarianism and deadly fascination with tyrannical centralism, we should be telling the tales of Winstanley and the Diggers, of Thomas Spence, and of all our heroes who envisioned a better world, a true common wealth.
