Collier describes him as a libertarian socialist. And I think that is the key. It explains how people like myself were puzzled when first going through Bhaskar and there was no reference at all to class - merely the ensemble of master-slave relations, one of which was the labour-capital. He may have said that arguably this was the most important, but I have never been able to locate that. Bhaskar's libertarianism also shows in his support for "socialized markets". As for being anti-Lenin. Of course. But over on the <marxism-AT-lists.panix.com>, Lou Proyect has argued strongly and convincingly that much of what we call "Leninism", especially with regard to political organisation really comes from Zinoviev. regards Gary --- from list bhaskar-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
