Re: [OPE] The state under capitalism

Surely howard is saying that a relationship is non-dialectical if there is no feedback.

Ok, so
here a
'non-dialectical
relationship'
means that
the
variation
in the
properties
of one of
the
elements
in a
relation
is fully
accounted
by the
properties
of the
other
element
but not
the other
way
around.

Note that
this
includes
relationships
that are
non-linear
and
possibly
historically
evolved,
which
includes
Jerry's
notion of
'non-dialectical
relationships'.

How do you
account
for this?
