WL :The focus of revolutionary activity - politics, is a very different subject matter and doctrine than political economy, which arose during the manufacturing period as a theoretical science.
^^^^ CB: For Marx there is unity of theory and practice on this. _Capital_ is to be read as a guide to revolutionary activity, as the same subject matter. That's why it's _political_economy, not economics. ^^^^^ For instance my life activity took place during the ascendency and decline of what is called the African American Peoples Liberation Movement. Political rights were very important to this movement but because I am generations industrial proletariat my own particlar standpoint has been to trace the development of the African American Liberation Movement on the basis of the change in the laboring process as slave labor and its corresponding implements all the way through the emergence of the qualitatively new productivity implements in the form of computers, advance robotics and digitalized production process. _______________________________________________ Marxism-Thaxis mailing list [email protected] To change your options or unsubscribe go to: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/marxism-thaxis
