marxist sociology

[Charles Brown]

Justin: I have lots done more to defend Marxism in print than you--that's not a 
boast, it's a fact. I have irritated people here sometimes by referring them 
to my excessive pubs list, but "trashing marxism" is not what comes to mind 
on reading it. And I am not even a Marxist.

Charles: Claiming that socialist planning is impossible a la Hayek and claiming that Marx's law of value is superfluous to his theory is not trashing Marxism ? Pretty much.  With this kind of "defender", what kind of trashers does Marx need ?

Tahir: So as an outsider with some kind of unexplained attachment to marxism (so to speak), what is your favourite variety of Marxism?
