marxist "development" can be deceptive. capitalism is a school for socialism
and marxism is a method for understanding how to graduate. the greater the
jargon, the more abstract the analysis, the poorer the education. socialism
will not wait for the creation of a generation of brainiacs who have read
this or that theoretically advanced (invariably) dead or nearly dead Great
Writer and can dazzle with dialectical dancing. socialism as an ideology
should be able to appeal to and be understood by that place in our being
where reason and feeling cooperate.

i usually think that we should learn, often and long, from our children.
there are advantages to not being one of those in the know because they
usually dont.
