I have a question: Suppose we have a fully elaborated marxist political economy laid out before us. Is there a science of price distinct from a science of value? No doubt any science of price would be emergent from a science of value, but would the study be different? Would there be a different scientific object under investigation? How would we characterize the difference? How would we characterize what was distinctive about the science of each? In his outlines and sketches of the totality of his project, did Marx say anything substantial about this?

But is fear enough to remove need, thirst for justice, intelligence, reason, idealism?? Relying on intimidation, the reactionaries forget that they will cause more indignation, more hatred, more thirst for martyrdom, than real fear. They only intimidate the weak; they exasperate the best forces and temper the resolution of the strongest.? ?"Victor Serge WHAT EVERY RADICAL SHOULD KNOW ABOUT STATE REPRESSION A Guide for Activists Victor Serge Introduction by Dalia Hashad Now available from Ocean Press at a special price of $15 (postage free!) 50% discount for orders of 5 copies or more. Victor Serge?Ts exposé of the surveillance methods used by the Czarist police reads like a spy thriller. An irrepressible rebel, Serge wrote this manual for political activists, describing the structures of state repression and how to dodge them. He also explained how such repression is ultimately ineffective. As civil liberties attorney Dalia Hashad illustrates in her introduction, Serge?Ts broad discussion on the oft-recycled tools of harassment and provocation is as relevant today as it was in pre-revolutionary Russia. Today?Ts repressive apparatus?"racial profiling, the USA Patriot Act, and similar legislation introduced in the name of the ?owar on terror??"point toward the unchecked power of the U.S. government and its allies, a power symptomatic of totalitarian regimes. Victor Serge was born to Russian émigré parents in 1890. He wrote numerous novels, poems and political essays and was forced into exile for opposing Stalin?Ts rule. Dalia Hashad is an attorney and the Arab, Muslim, South Asian advocate for the ACLU.
