Titan of Terror: The left-wing acolytes who say Karl Marx can't be blamed for the millions slaughtered in his name are deluded - bloodshed was at the heart of his philosophy

Marx's acolytes revere him as a political thinker, a radical journalist who fled Germany after a failed revolution in 1848 and ended up as a refugee living in London, where he poured out great torrents of revolutionary rhetoric.

But, as Francis Wheen's brilliant biography points out, Marx was an unlikely candidate for a personality cult.

A hard-drinking, chain-smoking man, scruffy and shambolic, cadging money from his friends and cheating on his wife with his housekeeper, he might have been a great role for the Carry On veteran Sid James.

One detail that sticks in my mind is Marx's terrible trouble with genital boils.

Even as he was working on three volumes of Das Kapital, he was complaining to friends about the 'carbuncles on my posterior and near the penis, the final traces of which are now fading, but which made it extremely painful for me to adopt a sitting and hence a writing posture'.

In his darkest moments, the man who called for a world revolution spent his time attacking the pus-filled boils on his bottom with a cut-throat razor.
