I didn't finish these thoughts in what I posted CB
The Second Thesis on Feuerbach - the test of theory is practice - is also rooted in or expresses the determination of ideas by material practice, "practical- critical , revolutionary,activity" (from the First Thesis on Feuerbach) Theory, a system of ideas, is proven true or changed when it is used to guide material practice in both "physics" and "economics". Social theory or ideology that guides real practice gives rise to contradictions that react back to change the theory, "disprove"it, if it contradicts material necessity even if only in the long run as in human history. Theb proof of the pudding is in the eating. The disproof of capitalism's theory or ideology, is in the continuous immiseration of masses and the periodic crises, wars and pollution. _______________________________________________ Marxism-Thaxis mailing list Marxism-Thaxis@lists.econ.utah.edu To change your options or unsubscribe go to: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/marxism-thaxis
