To wit, see 
<http://akliman.squarespace.com/reclaiming/> 
 
 
On that page there is a section called "What others
say about  'Reclaiming Marx's Capital'". 
 
In that section,  there is a reference to : 
 
"Marxism for the 21st Century - a revolutionary tool or
more scholasticism?" 
<http://radicalnotes.com/content/view/54/39> 
 
by 
 
 
"Michael A. (Trash it Now!)  Lebowitz".  
 
 
Kliman then writes: 
 
"Don't you think this is a wee bit anti-intellectual, 
ad hoiminem, and untrue, Michael?" 
 
 
Yet , note  that Michael L's article doesn't even  
mention Kliman's book (let alone review it!),  
Kliman, or even the TSSI!  
 
So,  Mike L - we're told -  is "Trash it Now!"
- by   someone who accuses him of using 
ad hominem even  though neither Kliman nor  
the TSSI are even mentioned in an article that  
never even claimed to be a review of Kliman's 
book! 
 
Note that the above is *ENTIRELY* factual. 
Indeed, I have  provided the sources so 
that you  can see for yourself who has been  
trashing  whom!
