About Me
- Robert Paul Wolff
- As I observed in one of my books, in politics I am an anarchist, in religion I am an atheist, and in economics I am a Marxist. I am also, rather more importantly, a husband, a father, a grandfather, and a violist.

I laughed, I cried, it was better than Cats.
Thank you very much.
Watching your two videos on Marx has crystallized a decision to undertake a serious study of Marxism for the next few years. I generally read in a fairly planned and organized way and among the contenders for my next project was Proust's In Search of Lost Time, but Marxism
has a social value, puts me in fruitful contact with others that Proust definitively does not and it's a wise idea, I believe, to do something socially useful in my old age.
I hope to "feel at home" (to use Marx's eloquent phrase) with Marxism. That will take some time.
Thanks- I listened to it late last night but fell asleep half way through it. Great night's sleep but I woke up feeling somehow alienated. I will try it again tonight and let you know if the effect persists.
Thank you, sir. I really have enjoyed the first two lectures. I am trying to grasp the Frankfurt school also and I think it could be informative to hear your take on it. Alt-right and other liberal critics like Jordan B Peterson take aim at Cultural Marxism, identity politics and are not going to Marx himself. What are the difference between Cultural Marxism and Marx? Is there a fruitful way for the left by going back to Marx and going around the Frankfurt school?
