I agree that Ted has chosen extremely important passages from Marx, but
I
don't have the slightest ideas what this post is about because (a) I
don't know
who said that ideas can be "fully reduced" or in what context, and so
(b) I
don't know what "this way" means, and so (c) I don't know what ther
relation of the quoted passages to any topic on this list is.

In so far as I can understand it, I think I agree with the post. This is
interesting
because I consider Ted's ideas on psychology not so much wrong as not
worth discussing. I wonder if we can find a common ground which will
enable us to state our disagreements. I could perceive no common ground
in his post on Freud/Klein etc.
