RK Moore's point of view in recent postings to wsn is very interesting and
welcome. It touches on the problem of tradition versus innovation on the
left, taking the side of innovation.

Your post doesn't support Richard Moore, Gernot. Rather it supports my
argument. Richard rejects the Marxian standpoint. Singh and Gatade do not.
Andrew:
I hate to say it, but you are lapsing into extreme hubris here. It is becoming apparent to me (and perhaps others?) that you either can't or won't recognize/address Richard's main point in this lengthy (though entertaining) debate re/the contradictions of capitalism -- that there are flaws in Marxist theory which preclude its ability to move us towards urgently needed, innovative/revolutionary world system change. It is this kind of inflexible adherence to Marxist dogma which has weakened the cause of the Left.
