This is a bit hairsplitting. Kliman wrote Reclaiming Marx' Capital. That book is taking Marx dead serious. If Kliman is not a Marxist economist, then nobody is. Even Marx said "I am not a Marxist", but in an ironic sense. > > If they are > > sectarian, let us respond to that with arguments, be more tolerant > > than they are. > >Been there, done that.

But you are not calling for support in your fight of what you see as their sectarianism, you call for a vote on: a) In their use of logic b) their reporting of the views of those with whom they disagree c) and in the elaboration of their own fundamental categories ... and that is quite the same thing. >I also am pressed for time at the moment so I will leave it at that for >now. I'll respond tomorrow - I hope - to Fred's questions. Let's end the exchange on "the vote" here and follow up Fred's thread. That's a better use of our time. Regards Anders
