Yes in 1996. > You must be confusing what I wrote with >what Andy B wrote. Didn't you write about capital as undead as the meaning of the metaphor and then challenge the idea that labor was also undead? Which is an appropriation and limitation of Neocleous' metaphor. At any rate, this is a shift from your prior understanding of of why labor is undead. > > Again the OPE-L discussion in the Fall of 2005 seems to have >> appropriated Neocleous' interpretation without acknowledgement. > >Who "appropriated" Neocleous's interpretation? Who referred to capital as undead? That would be the answer to your question. I thought it was you. Are you saying it was Andrew B? In any case, I think it's important that the source of ideas is noted on OPE-L; it's a public archive. Likewise, I do hope that people take permission from and acknowledge those OPE'Lers whose ideas they appropriate. Rakesh > >In solidarity, Jerry
