In the text of my article ‘Classes and Communities’ (March 17, 2007), I had written, “Raymond Aron (1964:43) pointed out that in Revolution and Counter-revolution in Germany, Marx enumerated a set of eight distinct classes; in Class Struggles in France he also listed eight classes, but it was a somewhat different set of eight”. This was changed to read “In Revolution and Counter-revolution in Germany, Raymond Aron (1964:43) pointed out that Marx enumerated a set of eight distinct classes; in Class Struggles in France Aron also listed eight classes, but it was a somewhat different set of eight”. The change will lead the reader to think that I believe that the author of Class Struggles in France was Raymond Aron which, of course, is not correct.
