	NEWS & LETTERS, June-July 2006 - Marx's humanism and the mass struggles since World War II
		Zhou Yang notwithstanding, it is not some "bourgeois scholars" who brought Marx's Humanism onto the historic stage, but masses in motion--masses in motion against established Communism, masses in motion against American imperialism, masses in motion against British, French, Belgian imperialism, masses in motion against all existing societies.
		The Marx of 1844 who could write of the Silesian weavers--"the Silesian uprisings began where the French and English uprisings ended, with the consciousness of the proletariat as a class"--needs no lessons in class struggle from a representative of state power in China.
		Stalinism, be it in Russian or Chinese garb, should not be allowed to sully Marx's concept of revolution and vision of the "all-round" man.
