I, a committed leftwinger, loved this novel - and thereby hangs a tale[edit]

And I lend it to dogmatic leftwingers of all shades, 'gandhian'-left, marxist-'left', they found it reactionary and disgusting!

The same thinking makes some marxist party-liners to *still* call D. H. Lawrence a 'reactionary'! Though a young maoist leader Saroj Dutta, tortured and killed by the Indian State - specifically the west bengal police - praised Lawrence as 'though reactionary, but full of energy and has a lot to teach us' or something like that.

Why so?

Senior activist Micheal Albert (of znet ie zcommunications.org))in his old book 'What Is To Be Undone?' [available online for reading free at http://www.zcommunications.org/zparecon/witbu.htm] points out that maoists are not really marxists; they have original democratic ideas. Prob is they carry marxist baggage which warps their thought and work. (that's a very loose paraphrase: Micheal Albert will surely find it simplistic and unsatisfactory..)
