Re: A reply to Carrol Cox

Capitalism began no later than the early 16th century. No marxist (at
least no marxist who has read marx) ever identified capitalism and
industrialism. If you are deserting marxism for one or another version
of world system theory, well and good, but I prefer to debate with
marxists.

The debate on pen-l was long and messy, and many of the posts
were not so much opposed as simply on different topics. To
fwd a small selection of those posts to marxism is utterly obscurantist.

I cannot imagine why you are choosing to desert almost everything
you have argued for for years. You seem to be incrasingly moving
towards the position of the productivist marxist, cohen.
