  I would like to know the 'characteristic' features of the so-called 'New Marxist Exploiting Class', a term which I have not heard before. Is it the same 'New Class' about which Djilas wrote long ago or something else?

  Jerry,

  Marx and Engels did say that free competition existed, and you would know
  this if in your professorial capacity you actually did some real research
  into the matter. However Marx and Engels were very aware that completely
  unrestricted competition rarely existed, as bourgeois society recoiled from
  its ruinous effects.

  I can find at least 144 references to free competition in the writings of
  Marx and Engels, and the they do not support the doctrines of the New
  Marxist Exploiting Class, unless the quotes are selectively quoted out of
  context.

  It is characteristic of the new Marxist Exploiting Class that it - just like
  Proudhon - cannot theorize the relationships between competition and
  cooperation, and therefore, its "socialism" consists only of moral slogans
  with which to dupe the masses.

  Jurriaan
