You ask Lawyer Brown, "What is it you think the classes struggle over in the class struggle that Marx and Engels refer to" as if you have an important insight.
Waistline, who is almost always wrong , shall we say Wrongline: Your question is bogus because classes are not abstract categories. Following your petty flogging lawyer mentality, may I ask what classes you are talking about? ^^^ CB: The ones in that Marx and Engels refer to in the first sentence of _The Manifesto_. Lawyer Brown, lawyerly question: What is it you think the classes struggle over in the class struggle that Marx and Engels refer to ? We are at the level of abstraction that Marx and Engels were in _The Manifesto_ It is the bourgeois revolution in the property relations that triggers constant revolutions in the instruments of production, that sets up a dynamic with respect to extraction of relative surplus value, as Marx analyzed in the Chapter on Relative Surplus Value and subsections on Modern Industry and Machinery. Was the end of slavery a social revolution because it was a fundamental change in the property relations ? _______________________________________________ Marxism-Thaxis mailing list [email protected] To change your options or unsubscribe go to: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/marxism-thaxis
