war and the state

"Well, you don't know; if a text is incomprehensible to you, 
you don't know whether it contains meaning for someone else, 
is good or bad, right or wrong, well- or ill-arranged, and so 
on. It's just opaque. Since no one else has risen to either 
agree with you or explain the text, however, I suspect it is 
worse than obscure: it is boring, and the prospects of 
well-received explanation are dim. Therefore, I will not 
abuse the patience of this mailing list with one.

Gordon,
Please refer to the quotation of Marx's I have forwarded, re: war and the 
state, materialist conception of history. Please tell me what else you want 
an explanation on, and I will be glad to provide it.
