Farcical critique of ‘flawed Marxism’

ROGER COTTRELL’S critique of “flawed Marxism” (Irish Examiner letters, April 24), especially in relation to the Rising of 1916, was as good an example of pure farce as we are likely to read in any of the national dailies.

Unless, of course — and this is the scary part— he was being serious.

It was almost, but not quite, as outlandish as a recent piece in another Irish newspaper which tried to draw parallels between revisionists and poor old Judas.
