I am pleased to read these statements and I sincerely regret any
misunderstandings on my part about your argument. However, you must
shoulder part of the responsibility for this confusion because of your
statement in [OPE-L:2641] that "There is, however, no reason in principle
why capitalism should be seen as being incompatible with generalized
slave labour".
In solidarity, Jerry
