To be fair to Jim, I believe he shares your view stated above. It was I who made the "silly and misleading" contention that power, if it means anything must mean control over other human beings or groups of human beings. Needless to say, I do not think my reduction is "silly and misleading". Your ideology may lead you to believe that the "working class" desires "the power to abolish itself as a working class and thereby abolish capitalism and capitalists". I'd argue that history and psychology shows that real, breathing human beings desire no such thing. -raghu. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
