So we have a new definition of the core.  How does it solve the problem?
Differences about how magnitude relates to the form of value still depend
upon interpretation of the meaning of the form of value, in relation to
Marx's method.  

>If one proceeds only on the basis of

Name one of these 'post Marxist' writers... someone who proceeds *only* on
the basis of the form of value.  I've never come across any.

>It

To say that a theory is not Marx's Marxism, is basically to say that *your*
particular interpretation of how the qualitative and quantitative elements
in Marx are related is the only correct one.  No?
