To JD & Ian re Popper: Aid to the poor benighted Marxist-Leninists Amongst Us Please!



The conversation went:
> I noticed that a major element of Crews' critique of Freudianism (in
the
>New York REVIEW OF BOOKS a few years ago) is that it can't be falsified
(following Popper's >criterion). Unfortunately, this seems to apply to
all_  of social science (and to Popper).
======================
Popper deplored the issue of reflexivity and self-reference from the
moment it was turned on his own conjectures...........
