Would you agree that the charge of systematic inconsistency against
Marx acts to exclude Marxist thought from any consideration (in
economics)?



I would disagree. Ernesto himself played a good deal of consideration
in economics to Marxist thought, and feel himmself a Marxist.

For me, I consider inconsistent all the great economists. For sure,
Smith, Walras, Keynes. May be not Ricardo, but in fact he is the
least interesting of the 5 named.


I say this even though I reject price of production theory.  There
is no tendency of profit rates towards uniformity.
Also I am not opposed to equilibrium as such, only certain
equilibrium theories.


I agree with both points.
