		To whom...,



	Radio Proyect, The Voice Of Orthodoxy (All Ad Hominem, All The
Time: Analysis-Free Radio) is an oldies stations.  It's play list stops
with Che Guevara's greatest hits.  Perhaps that is why Proyect has become
the head eulogizer of the Marxism lists.  All his teen idols are dead. 


	C. Proyect has forgotten that reading Marx is far less important
than using Marx.  The Marxism lists aren't a capitalist job interview,
Proyect, no one is concerned with his resume.  We aren't all trying to
worm our way into the Upper West Side leftist intelligentsia, are we?
(Remember back to that time you didn't give a rat's ass what people
thought of you; back before the SWP hurt your feelings so badly?)  It is
not I making a fuss at Brecht forums.  It is not I drooling all over
Monthly Review in abject sycophancy.  Marxism is only hip for those who
can stand to fetishize it.



	C. Cox, our retired anti-empiricist, has no capacity to engage in
argument.  He gets mad and announces that he will no longer read the posts of
those who offend his delicate sensibilities.  I was under the happy illusion
that I was one of those offenders.  




	Again I say that money has changed in late capitalism.  It's
character and logic have evolved dialectically.  If anyone would care to
comment on that assertion materially, I would be happy to engage him.  If
anyone would care to comment on that assertion immaterially, his tutors
are listed above and I would be happy to engage him also. 








	peace
