According to Hal Draper, Marx's comment is known via mention by
Engels on 4 occasions: in a letter to Bernstein in 1882, in
letters to Schmidt & Lafargue in 1890, and in an open letter
in 1890 published in the SPD newspaper...in each instance, Engels
refers to a remark Marx made in the late 1870s about French "Marxists"
who apparently didn't understand his theory and politics...alternately,
Engels writes that Marx said: 'what is certain is that, as for me,
I am no Marxist,' and 'all I know is that I am no Marxist,'
see Draper, *Karl Marx's Theory of Revolution Vol II: The Politics
of Social Classes*, Monthly Review, pp5-8...Michael
