Further to Cheeta’s comment on my previous blog “Communists and freedom”, about the distinction between communists and Communists, I was reminded of the late D.D. Kosambi (a colourful personality who was a TIFR mathematics professor as well as a historian). He is said to have opened a book review with the eloquent phrase: “Marxism is not a substitute for intelligence”. Indeed he was a remarkably intelligent man and also a Marxist - and I didn’t find anything in his writings that suggested he supports tyranny. So presumably he was a good example of a lower-case “communist”.
