jules basile guesde -lrb- 11 november 1845 -- 28 july 1922 -rrb- was a french socialist journalist and politician .
guesde was the inspiration for a famous quotation by karl marx .
shortly before marx died in 1883 , he wrote a letter to guesde and paul lafargue , both of whom already claimed to represent `` marxist '' principles .
marx accused them of `` revolutionary phrase-mongering '' .
this exchange is the source of marx 's remark , reported by friedrich engels : '' `` ce qu'il y a de certain c'est que moi , je ne suis pas marxiste '' '' -lrb- `` what is certain is that they are marxists , i myself am not a marxist '' -rrb- .
