Rakesh,
well, my answer is the same as Colletti in the last chapter of Marxism and
Hegel, so why you don't understand it? Look at the last three pages: Hegel
is there. Do you want to call it category mistake? Then, capitalism is a
category mistake. Do you suggest philosophy, or psychoanalitic treatment,
is better than social revolution? May be, but I doubt that was Marx's
perspective...
riccardo
P.S.: BTW, an answer to your three questions would require three books.
