I don't agree with Justin on the virtue of Analytical Marxism, but I 
do think he's right on the mark above.  Somehow, parecon theorists 
think like the most boneheaded Maoists when it comes to what they 
might think of as "middle class," intellectuals, etc.!  Perhaps, 
parecon and anarchism are a Maoism for those who hate Maoists.
