i wasnt referring to marx in that sense in any event, dunedan: i was referring to the notion of ideology, from which follows (or which follows from) a whole theory, variously revised by others across time, about the individual as a social product/function....social norms are historical (and therefore are political, that is subject to change)...which runs directly counter to any coherent notion of "natural law or its derivatives.

start from there.

sorry if i created confusion by not spelling out what i meant with the marx reference.

btw, i am not interested in trying to address your "understanding" of socialism or communism or the problematic linkages between these ideas and marx's texts (the cp never encouraged much in the way of close reading of marx, which helped reduce the problems) simply because that would run the thread into a completely different area.

pressed for time.
