    http://reality.gn.apc.org/polemic/richter1.pdf

    Is that link permanent, as in papers can't replace that one? Does that mean "http://reality.gn.apc.org/polemic/richter2.pdf" with the "2" would be necessary? Given newer PDFs, that Version 1.0 is quite old, don't you think?

    Season's Greetings! FYI, just a week or so ago I finally read the TNS chapter on property relations. After that, I'm finally convinced that the bulk of "State-Capitalist!" assertions by Paresh Chattopadhyay and other Marxist-Humanists, by left-com/ultra-left (action) abstentionist (programmatic) maximalists, and so on don't hold much water. In some cases you made the exact same criticisms as they did, but illustrated things which they dismissed.

    What's the link to that OPE discussion website of yours again?

    You might be interested in this mathematics group:

    In there, I have an old thread on the so-called "Fundamental Marxian Theorem."
  8. Die Neue Zeit
    I'm back (for now).

    I'm still trying to find that obscure post on RevLeft about the four functions of the modern state (defense from external attack is one "non-class" function, can't remember the other two listed). I merely hinted at them here, where a comrade questioned the Marxist definition of "the state":

    There's also this Muscovite comrade sanpal who equates the Soviet economic system with Duhring's "socialitarianism":

    Perhaps at some point we can debate on the transition to labour credits (the stages in your Czech preface vs. labour credits in certain sectors of the global economy co-existing with the monetary transition).
