when the collapse of the Soviet Union brought an almost universal exultation in the mainstream press and among political leaders not only was “The enemy gone” but the idea of Marxism was discredited. Capitalism and the: “Free market” had triumphed. Marxism had failed. Marx was truly dead. it important, therefore to make it clear that neither the Soviet Union nor other countries that called themselves “Marxist” but had set up police states represented Marx’s notion of socialism. I want to show Marx angry that his theories had been so distorted as to stand for Stalinist cruelties through this play.
