Since the demise of the old marxism-theory list carried via jefferson village & later via the U of Utah, there has been a lack of a good general theoretical discussion list on Marxism. All such lists are prone to get out of hand. This list will begin as an unmoderated one, and will continue as such as long as things don't get out of control due to extraneous sectarianism or miscellaneous silliness. There are other such venues available. Let us try to focus on resolving intellectual issues, on thinking and research. Welcome aboard.
