Yes, but Jerry you have to explain why you recommend that Doug

greater commitment to Marxism.
b) retain a liberal faith in education through taking classes in lieu of
praxis in political activity (i.e. organizing workers..), which would
reflect a Marxist commitment.
c) engage in such activities in order to 'learn' something about
value.

So, it's ok for Gil, but God forbid should Doug do this.
Can't but help wonder how much your bitterness directed at Doug is
personal, not political...Then again, considering how much energy you have
used to defend the likes of a Malecki, well...
