Steve K. asserted in [OPE-L: 611]: "the fact that Marx began from a set of
axioms .... <snip>"

While axioms are much beloved by contemporary mathematical economists, I
don't recall Marx _ever_ specifying axioms or accepting the axiomatic
method.

If anyone believes that Marx _did_ employ axioms, I ask that they be
identified and we can then discuss from the context of Marx's work
whether they are indeed axioms.
