For a valuable discussion of these issues, see T. B. Bottomore , "Marxism", in David L. Sills, ed., The International Ency- clopaedia of the Social Sciences, vol. 10 ( New York: Macmillan & the Free Press, 1968).
See, for instance, Friedrich Engels, "Socialism; Utopian and Scientific", Special Introduction to the English Edition of 1892, in Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, Selected Works (Mos- cow: Progress Publishers, 1970), 103. For an insightful account of Engels's interpretation and use of Marx's ideas, see George Lichtheim , Marxism: An Historical and Critical Study ( London: Routledge & Kegan Paul, 1964), 234-243.
According to Engels's speech at Marx's graveside on March 17, 1883, "Just as Darwin discovered the law of develop- ment of organic nature, so Marx discovered the law of develop- ment of human history." See Marx and Engels, Selected Works, 162-163.
See Lichtheim, Marxism. Attempts to qualify the suppos- edly inevitable evolution toward socialism and the materialist laws of history were condemned by Marxists as "revisionism."
See, for example, Robert Conquest, The Harvest of Sor-row: Soviet Collectivization and the Terror Famine
