Dr. Sun labelled Karl Marx. aa social pathologist and not as a odal physiologist, because Marx dealt only with one of the diseases of society but was utterly blind to the causes of social progress. The Kuomintang leader farther held that the disagreement now existing between socialists all over the world is due to the faulty doctrine of Karl Marx, for there are now many socialist' groups each opposing the other—the radicals being represented by the Soviets in Rus-while the other schools of socialism are upheld by the State Soci ts and State Democrats, What beating does all this explanation of an abstract and rather: eademie subject have on the present situation within the Kuomintang?
