[Pen-l] New list for Marxists / Nueva lista para Marxistas

[Charles Brown <cdb1003@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Julio:
Personally, I am not persuaded by Luckacs' view that "Marx's method"
is the fundamental badge of identity of Marxism as a revolutionary
world view.  More generally, I don't think the vital core of Marxism
is some "method" or theoretical notion or sacred text (e.g. Capital)
or specific adaptation to concrete historical conditions (e.g. Mao
thought) or adherence to some leader or party line (Fidel), but the
existing struggles of people who fight, with whatever may be at hand,
against everything that exploits, fragments, debases, and humiliates
them as humans.  This is not to devalue the importance of theory, even
at the highest levels of abstraction, but to place it where it
belongs, as an instrument in a struggle to humanize the conditions in
which we work and live.
