Oh, but Carrol is taking too seriously Marx's rejection of "morality" in favor of "science." But what other reason is there to object to exploitation, if not morality? I think it's pretty safe to drop that 19th century remnant; the rest of the Marxian system could survive nicely. * * *
I'm with you on this one, but if you are seriously interested in a couple of maximum strength answers, see Allwn Wood, The Marxian Critique of Justice, Phil & Public Affaits 1972 +/-, also his Marx and Equality in Analytical Marxism (ed. J. Roemer 1986); Richard Miller's Analysing Marx has a chapter defending Marxian amoralism.
