Hi David:
The anonymous member of the "Friends of Charles Darwin" who wrote the page,http://darwin.gruts.com/articles/2000/marx/, _was_ sorry to see it go. This
is how the page concluded:
"I must admit to having experienced a certain degree of
disappointment on learning that the famous *Das Kapital*
dedication chestnut was a myth. On reflection, however,
I like to think that Darwin would have approved of the
sort of reasoning that questioned a cherished long-standing
belief and of the search for literary *missing links* that
eventually led to the truth. That's what science and
historical research are all about".
I think Marx would have concurred with that.
In solidarity, Jerry
