Maass has written a rejoinder focusing on focus -- that is, focusing on whether Marxism takes into account other realms than the economy effectively. This is a topic I didn't want to pursue and which I barely raised at all in the piece he is react...

Before getting into your points, you and I disagree so much about the texts you quote and about the historical events you have referenced that to clash on that just won't yield progress, I fear, though it may give us both carpel tunnel syndrome. Y...
