[I thought of Paul B and you earlier today, but it was in relation to another thread.] I very much agree with the basic point that you make: i.e. that Marx was "before all else a revolutionary". It's such a basic point and yet one which is so frequently missed by many academics who conceive of "Marx the philosopher", "Marx the sociologist", "Marx the political scientist", "Marx the historian", "Marx the economist", et al. I don't see how one can make any sense at all of Marx's writings on those subjects unless one understands his (adult) life mission of being a socialist revolutionary. Once one grasps that basic fact, then it is so much easier to understand the rest. In solidarity, Jerry
