If I use _Macbeth_ as an analogy that doesn't mean I've killed a king lately. I was referring strictly to the market socialist debate. You might look up in the archives an exchange of pleasantries between Justin & me a year or so ago and contrast that with our exchanges since then. Why debate an issue which temporarily at least is utterly undecidable when there are debates that do provide light at least to bystanders if not to the participants?

China can be debated somewhat usefully and doesn't necessarily lead to mere babblings but there is no reason anyone should feel compelled to engage in or read that debate.
