Mehmet, by any chance have you read the first chapter
of Slavoj Zizek's The Sublime Object of Ideology? :-)

I am somewhat skeptical of Zizek, due to his
reputation as being an academic comedian, but I was
very pleased to see that he heavily leans upon Alfred
Sohn-Rethel in his discussion of Marx's analysis of
the commodity.  Anyone who uses Sohn-Rethel as a
reference for these discussions is fine with me.
