I forgot, PEN-L isn't the place for humor. Ok, I'll lay it out. Proving him right? That the 'real Marx' is being suppressed by Marxists and other radicals? That's ridiculous. Marx has been suppressed by anti-Marxists, but by the RRPE edit board? That's beyond ridiculous, that's delusional. And what really are the consequences? Not getting value theory right has inhibited just what political or intellectual progress exactly? When Antonio Callari told the IWGVT that they used value theory as a substitute for politics, there wasn't a peep of reaction from the crowd. Nor was there when Bertell Ollman told them (at the same session) they didn't understand how alienated their categories were. Sad, very sad. Doug
