I thought your posting very interesting, both in relation to the poersonal side and also the comments on Steve Keen's papers/remarks. I'm not saying that I agree with you re Steve's theory. I am very interested in your views on the labor theory of value, but also on the nature and historical functions of Trotskyism. The group you were linked to: in Australia they were called the "Socialist Labour League", a very sectarian Trotskyist organisation. This group was far more sectarian the slightly sectarian Socialist Workers Party. I'd be interested to know, from a Marxist point of view, what the "beliefs" of your Trotsky organisation were, and why they were ultra sectarian; also the background to their breakup. You might want to communicate privately or publically on this, depending on how general the interest might be. It could be of general interest if placed within the context of the Trotsky-Bukharin- Stalin themes in modern context (??) - or in the context of Marxist theory. It seems to me that the Trotsky line - while left wing - incorporated little of the Economic and Philosophical manuscripts of 1944 type themes. (??) best wishes, Phil O'Hara Phillip O'Hara, Econ, Curtin Uni, GPO BOx U1987 Perth 6001. Australia. ------------------
