In the 'Introduction' to Marx's Early Writings (published by Penguin in 1975) Colletti on p 39 cites two passages from K. Marx, 'Die Wertform', in Marx-Engels,...
For an alternative translation you could try Andy Blunden's site: http://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1867-c1/appendix.htm But this I think you have...
Dear Stephen Thanks for taking the trouble. As you inferred, I had looked at this translation. It's particularly tantalising as several of the German words ...
Dear Andy Denis, I tried to find the word 'hypostatisation' in Marx , but it was ineffective. My feeling is that yes, I saw this word somewhere in Marx, but...

Mandel's quote is imprecise, but it's not false. It's a collation of two concepts expressed by Marx with two different sentences. ... Whatever shortcomings...
McQueen's essay is terrific. I'm glad he referenced not only Prawer, but the lesser-known Margaret Rose, who wrote two very important books, one of which is...
That really is a wonderful essay. This passage from Marx is pricelss and speaks to the appeal fo coulter, hannity, etc. to people who are in material existence...
Some days I am so dim... "Religious distress is at the same time an expression of real distress and a protest against real suffering. Religion is the sigh of...
This is also a good point... "The risk in parading Marx's maxims is that his meaning is rendered obvious, that is to say, is misrepresented. Wrenched from its...
I noticed that his section "Capital" is largely a recommendation on how to read Capital taken from or akin to Harry Cleaver's suggestion, which is to put the...
You have a lot more empathy for the denizens of Dumbfuckistan that I do. The only Christians I have ever been able to stomach are the black ones, and that's a...
"Gargantua and Pantagruel are flesh-and-blood creatures of a society dependent on the soil and hand labour. Capital must be depicted as a machine because the...
Thanks, Maurizio, and Andy, a mine of information as always. Surprising how often these "liberal translations" - I agree it's not wholly a misrepresentation -...

Dear colleagues I append details of the meetings for 2005-2006 of the London Marx-Hegel reading group. I have put in a request for a room, but this is the ...
Does anyone else find the section on the Unhappy Consciousness starting at para 207, but going to para 211 (have not gotten past that yet) more than a little...
Well I read this section of the Phenomenology entirely in terms of the reconciliation of a dominated culture to the dominant culture, and the emergence of...
Ok, I will suspend judgment. Hegel does himself say that this reconciliation is premature. I will attempt to take your advice. My habit in reading Hegel...
