WL: The antagonism being lived out during the time of Marx was between the evolution and rise of the industrial system and its bourgeois mode of production versus the landed property relations and its political superstructure called feudalism.
^^^ CB: But this is not the way in which Marx and Engels use "antagonism" to describe the antagonism being lived out during the time of Marx and Engels. They use "antagonism" to refer to the irreconcilable conflict or contradiction between antagonistic classes, not, as you say, between "the evolution and rise of the industrial system and its bourgeois mode of production versus the landed property relations and its political superstructure called feudalism." ^^^^^^ _______________________________________________ Marxism-Thaxis mailing list Marxism-Thaxis@lists.econ.utah.edu To change your options or unsubscribe go to: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/marxism-thaxis
