  Althusser, Louis (1918-1990)
<snip, JL>

Althusser saw the early chapters of Marx's Capital not as a key, but a
barrier to understanding Marx's view of capitalist society, advising
readers to begin Capital with Part II. Althusser thus arrives not at a
revision, but at a complete negation of Marx.

What I find most objectionable to the above is that the author is
not indicated on the MIA page.  At least MIA readers should be told
who is making this claim, don't you think?

Are there any other questionable assertions or factual errors on
this page?

In solidarity, Jerry
