In Russia Lenin claims to be the only true interpreter of Marx. He wrote a book in 1917 entitled The State and Revolution, the object of which is to show that both in economics and in politics Bolshevism is based on the real true Marxism.
A reply to Lenin was published by Karl Kautsky, who is well known as the most eminent writer on Socialism on the Continent, and more especially as the literary exponent of Marx. Kautsky 's book is entitled The Dictatorship of the Proletariat, and is a vigorous attack on Lenin and all his works.
The fundamental idea of Marx is that the employment of capital (in the capitalistic system) always involves the robbery or exploitation of labour. Equality of profits only means equality in sharing out the plunder. The point is that even if there were no "trusts" and when Marx published his Capital the trust movement as we know it had hardly begun the owners of capital would always be getting a surplus value by the under-payment of labour.

Thanks for the interest Max. I don't know that I want to take it on as a project. Perhaps someone else will.
