I got annoyed when I heard today that some students are learning about Marx's Capital without the criticisms that can reasonably be made of it. And not just for what he overlooks, but in terms of his own explanations. So I just typed this up at the end of class. Took me 5 minutes
"I have often remarked on the fact that an “anti-Marxist” argument is only the apparent rejuvenation of a pre-Marxist idea. A so-called “going beyond” Marxism will be at worst only a return to pre-Marxism; at best, only the rediscovery of a thought already contained in the philosophy which one believes he has gone beyond."
