Alastair Campbell: "Teman terdekat saya, yang meninggal belum lama ini...

"Teman terdekat saya, yang meninggal belum lama ini, dimakamkan di dekat makam Marx di pemakaman Highgate, jadi saya melihat kawanan pengagum meletakkan mawar di kaki batu nisannya secara teratur. Saya tidak pernah tergoda untuk meninggalkan bunga di sana sendiri. Teori-teori hebat, malu tentang praktiknya. Marx melakukan banyak hal. Tetapi menciptakan kelas bukanlah salah satu dari mereka."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

My closest friend, who died not long ago, is buried near Marx's grave in Highgate cemetery, so I see the gaggle of admirers laying roses at the foot of his tombstone regularly. I have never been tempted to leave flowers there myself. Great theories, shame about the practice. Marx did many things. But inventing class was not one of them.
