The Posthistoricity of Orthodox Marxism http://clarkmax.blogspot.com/2010/01/posthistoricity-of-orthodox-marxism.html 1. The orthodox Marxist ends the history of thought with Marx. All truth that remains to come is to be a methodical reiteration of his thusly eternalized word. All that is not a reiteration is rendered false. This tendency runs riot in the unconscious behavior of all orthodox Marxism, the provisos of dialectics notwithstanding, and is near incurable as such. 2. If idealism, as Marx writes in his German Ideology, is essentially a belief in ghosts, the ontotheological "spectre of communism" surely betrays the main contours of Marx's faith. ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@lists.econ.utah.edu Set your options at: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
