[Marxism-Thaxis] Brown and philosophy

Paddy:
That was written by the people named in the post. You are going to have them
charging me with plagerism.

A materialist categorical imperative would be to save the world from
capitalism.

Charles Brown ( posting something somebody else wrote): Moreover, the moral
injunction of the categorical imperative, 
namely "act
only on that maxim through which you can at the same time will that it
should become a universal law".
Paddy Hackett: I cannot see how the struggle for the abolition of wages 
through the struggle for real increases in the price of labour power can 
have anything to do with the categorical imperative. This is struggle 
entailing both the defence and advance of living standards. It is dictated 
by the specific limits of a specific capitalist society and the necessity to

transcend those limits through communism. This is both a bread and butter 
issue and an issue of human realisation.
Consequently it has nothing to do with the categorical imperative with its 
subjectivist limitations.
