Amilcar Cabral and the major works of Mao. To see Marxism in

There are some fine books in this group, but it's not a coherent list --
looks like it was thrown together by someone with a vague idea that
Marxism, socialism, communism etc. were all the same thing. If you are
looking for readings _on Marx_, less
The best Marx bio is still David McLellan's Karl Marx. Franz Mehring's older
book is good on Marx as a political activist. The new bio by Wheen is
interesting but a bit lightweight.
I don't care for the Wolff Resnick volume. WR have a silly postmodernist
or post-ALthusserian "antiempiricist"

Let me associate myself with Mat's comments, and reaffirm that
empiricism is *not* the same thing as using and respecting data and
taking history seriously. Shallow dichotomies like pomo-empiricist are
barriers to understanding.

Justin is the same person as jks, i.e., me. You seem to be more interested in picking silly nits, like whether we can say "Marx is" rather than "Marx was";
i'm still pawing through all of your references for explaining Marx. also

Don't buy Amazon. Buy used. You can search and
order over the Web and save a ton. Plus Amazon
is currently fighting a unionization drive so
they're on the shit list.
Try searching on Alibris, Powell's, or "used books"
