Wells despised Marx and generally refused to concede the idea of a dictatorship withering away came from him. Not sure how to put that in.--T. Anthony 06:24, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

- Umm you got it backwards. On page 143 of his Experiment in Autobiography: Discoveries and Conclusions of a very ordinary Brain I quote "There would have been creative evolution, and possibly creative revolution of a far finer type in Karl Marx had never lived" and on page 625 "My habitual polemical disposition to disparage Marx does not blind me to his pioneer awareness of..." So at best "I disparage him, but he was sometimes right." Whereas of Lenin he states, "I grudge subscribing to the 'great man' conception of human affairs, but if we are going to talk at all of greatness among our species, then I must admit that Lenin at least was a very great man."(pg 666 ) He wrote that Autobiography in 1934, about the time this came out so presumably his views were similar then.--T.
