I'm glad to see the distinction, Lawrence; but my
problem with your replies in this thread is that
almost anything that is in some way similar to
something Marx said or that conforms to his ideals can
be seen by you as inspired or influenced by Marx,
Marx/Engels, Marxism, absent 100 per cent proof to the
contrary. That does not matter politically to me
-- after all, I am a socialist inspired by the early
Marx and to me, Marxist is not a dirty word -- but
still, it matters.
(I accept that you produced a quotation re the 8-hour
day.)
you wrote
>The Civil War was begun over States Rights and not
Slavery.
But the States Rights at issue were bound up with
slavery.
