--right, that's the one.

 

 On the other hand, there must be currents within currents in China. Eg., the paper I gave at the Beijing Conference talked about how commodity exchange (while not to be identified with capitalism) creates conditions for the restoration of capitalism because of the nature of people produced under these relations and that only the conscious creation of new social relations, the invading communist society from below, could check this.(I didn't mention China but it was clear what I was talking about.)

 

--you could have directly mentioned China, would have probably been a good idea, to open up debate.

 

I learned recently that the paper was translated and published in September in the first issue of a new journal, the journal of the Shanghai School of Economics. Somebody must want to discuss these questions.

--there surely are, they're in the minority, but they do exist.
