Andrew, people can differ to you about what Marx says, but that does not mean that they are conspiring to suppress Marx. For example, Justin knows that I strongly disagree with his reading of Marx, but I do not dream that he is trying to suppress Marx.
Your accusation could never be proven, but only asserted. And the repetitive assertion of suppression serves no positive purpose.
