> "The coupling of Marx’s thinking with certain state powers, and
> especially its situation in the political domain with all its
> bone-headed prejudices that blot out thoughtfulness, have made access to
> a thought-ful dialogue with him infinitely more difficult and also put
> coarse distortions and simplifications into circulation.
> ... It will take some effort to ease Marx out of the automatic, foregone
> entanglement with totalitarian social systems and mere leftist political
> convictions."
>
> "For Heidegger 'the essence of materialism is concealed in the essence
> of technology' and, for the thinking of the essence of technology, the
> economic dimension is irrelevant, perhaps too 'ontic'. Not only is the
> economic dimension allegedly irrelevant, it is moreover invisible as
> phenomenality for the determination of the essence of technology in
> Heidegger’s thinking, indeed so much so, that Heidegger does not even
> see any reason to confront economic issues or to explicitly demarcate a
> distance from them."
