Talk:Paul Lafargue

Untitled

I don't understand the point the writer was making in the "the series marked Lafargue started with those a long career as political journalist." Perhaps someone more familiar with the subject could edit this.LessHeard vanU 22:15, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

You are right: it's wrongly written. I understand it means that the series of articles marked Lafargue, who started with them a long career as political journalist. I'm fixing it. --Sugaar 23:57, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

On the basis of your understanding of what was meant I have given it a further tidy up (well, more drastically chopped it up, juggled it around type of thing). Thanks for your response.LessHeard vanU 16:07, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

"New" bio not incorporated in this WIKI entry for Paul Lafargue This whole entry needs to be redone. A major bio (2 volumes)Paul Lafargue and the Founding of French Marxism, 1842-1882, by Leslie Derfler, Harvard University Press 1991 and Paul Lafargue and the Flowering of French Socialism, 1882-1911, by Leslie Derfler, Harvard University Press 1998. I wrote a summary of PL's life based on Defler exhausted research. It was published by AK Press as "The Right to be Lazy:Essays by Paul LaFargue" I would like to submit a major redo of this entry based on Defler's bio.

Language cleanup needed in this article

Hello everyone, I was reading this article today and noticed it needs to have the English tidied up a bit in places. I would normally do it myself (only minor revisions are necessary) but I can't as I have no time at all, so I thought I'd point out the need here and perhaps someone else could lend a hand. I insist, nothing major, but here and there a few minor grammar mistakes are bothersome to a native English reader. Cheers, Alan --A R King 07:15, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Date of birth

No reference is cited for 15 January 1842 as Lafargue's date of birth. This article provides another date - 16 June 1842. --Rastko Pocesta (talk) 23:28, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

Was his father's plantation worked by slaves? --Error (talk) 22:23, 22 September 2014 (UTC)

Lenin quote isn't found in the source its quoted

I've read through the page in question as well as searched through the book for references of Lafargue and have not found the quote. I suggest removing the quote if it cant be verified. Dunkin' Capitalism (talk) 17:28, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
