[Comment] Offline: Medicine and Marx

When President Xi Jinping addressed the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China last month, he spoke of “the scientific truth of Marxism-Leninism”. Marxism (with Chinese characteristics), as President Xi went on to set out, is to be the foundation for a Healthy China. Who would dare today in the West to praise Karl Marx as the saviour of our wellbeing? Marx is long dead. He died physically on Marc h 14, 1883. He died metaphysically in 1991, as the Soviet Union ebbed away into a newly independent Russian state.
