LOL.. I can’t help it! Understanding the language and view of “Marxism” gives clarity on some things. I’m sorry, it does.[/quote]
Arraya: No need to apologize, because I wasn’t kidding. I had asked Brian about when he graduated college for a reason: One of the things that gives me fits, is seeing that tired post-structuralist Leftist BS trotted out again and again.
I would actually welcome a serious discourse using Marxian terminology, as a counterpoint and counterweight to the fetishization of the unbridled/unfettered capitalism that has gotten us into this fine mess.
I believe that Marx was truly right on/in a lot of areas, but the “pure” Marx was diluted/polluted by the likes of Lenin, Stalin, Mao, etc.
A pure Marxian dialectic would provide a reflective surface to American capitalism and would also allow for the inclusion of Hegelian determinism. Personally, it would shut some of these moronic Leftist fellow-travelers up, especially those that don’t realize their “version” of Leftism is vacuous, morally bankrupt palaver.
