NON-EXISTENT COMMUNISM

In an editorial of June 14 you state, "It is also a fundamental Marxist principle to aim at economic self-sufficiency and to avoid dependence on international trade."

In what book, pamphlet or speech did Marx proclaim this as a fundamental principle?

The Victoria local of the Socialist Party of Canada still has the $50 award waiting for anyone who can supply valid evidence of the existence of Communism in Russia, China or Cuba, as defined and advocated by Marx and Engels.
