Speaking of which, I once read a blurb on a book by Bob Avakian that
quoted Marx as saying "I have sown dragon's teeth & reaped a harvest
of fleas." Bob evidently thought himself more dragon- than flea-like
in deploying this quote, about which opinions may differ, but does
anyone know if this quote is authentic?
