Eck, this should have been "... unless developmental political economy
is the ONLY 'mode of thought." In other words, if one were to write
about, say, aesthetics or metaphysics, one would not have to "explicitly
or implicitly posit a post-capitalist reality" nor "support the
opposite of that."

I wonder, what are the chances that you'll read this correction before
responding to my last post arguing that developmental political economy
is indeed a mode of thought?
