I think that this reply misses the heart of what I'm trying to make
understood, and I don't appreciate the uncalled for sarcasm--as if this reply
was somehow a genuine affirmation of Habermasian ideals.

My point is not so much to disagree with Habermas, because I'd rather agree;
rather, it is to point out that, so to speak, the category "worlded
labor-power" is conspicuously lacking in Habermas's critical theory,
especially in the second volume of TCA, and that this is dangerous.  

Where is WORLDED LABOR-POWER in Habermas's critical theory?  Can I ask this
question?
