Re: [Marxism] Marx as

["s.artesian" <sartesian@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was going to post that WL is not my silent partner.  I regard him as
truly a comrade and a brother, and what I write here and on my blog
I write with an ear to the continuous dialogue he and I have over the
critical issues in the reproduction of capital.  I also have that ongoing
dialogue with others, on and off the list-- Richard Harris, John Imani,
Loren Goldner-- but WL-- hey he's my brother.

I was going to say also that at outset he and I fought each other hard
and bloody, and then... and then we found ourselves in agreement on the
important issues of where capital is going, how it intends to get there,
and what WE need to do to stop it.  And from there, and then, it got
better.

Go figure.  We disagreed a lot.  We also shared a lot-- connection to
Detroit, the LRBW [his infintely stronger than mine, I freely admit], an
understanding that the Russian REvolution was the single greatest event
in human history, its defeat the greatest tragedy, that the bureaucracy 
adminstered an impulse to capitalist restoration [so much for the eternal
state-capitalist, bureaucratic workers state conflict] and that the truth
is the whole, and the whole will be found in its historical origins.

So I've said all that, and I want to add-- that it was this list that allowed
us to fight each other, sort through the issues, and learn from each other.
Welcome back.  Brother.  Comrade.
