Lawrence Krader himself said "I'm neither a Hegelian nor a Marxist,. I'm a student of both, as Marx was a student of Hegel. But Marx was also a disciple of Hegel, which I am not, nor a disciple of Marx. I am a socialist, and have been one for nearly 60 years, but not a Marxian socialist." Of course, a disciple is not an apostle. A disciple learns from the master and follows his method, an apostle seeks to spread the teachings of the master. An apostle thinks the master's ideas are more valid or important than his own independent thinking. ========================================== Hi Jurriaan: This brings to mind a recent insightful article by Mike L, http://radicalnotes.com/content/view/54/39 , which begins with the following quote: "Save me from these so-called Marxists who think they have the key to history in their back pocket! Save me from disciples like those who followed Hegel and Ricardo!" In solidarity, Jerry
