It scarcely seems possible (or prudent) to underestimate this contribution. There are, indeed, many others as well who have taken Marx in more productive directions than his "creative" but limited readers (Lenin, Stalin, Mao, etc.). I wonder what Phil Goldstein's point is in attempting to draw close, meaningful(?) connections between Marx and Stalin...can you explain your motivation, Phil? Your concerns sound much more reminiscent of _Masters of Deceit_ than _Hegemony and Socialist Strategy_ :) Just curious... At least we're getting away from LTV-speak for a change. Anyoen have thoughts--now that Jukka's brought him up, so to speak--about how Zizek's contribution(s) might relate to this current matter? Chris Nagle ------------------
