I can't read Ted.

The 1844 MS is good stuff, but it was unpublished MS,a also pretty standard and somewhat limited German Romanticism -- you can get pretty much the same story from Schiller's Aesthetic Education of Man --, and while Marx never really retracted it, still apart from his work in ideologiekritik, he never advanced beyond it. There is nothing in Marx that is like N's subtle linking of social class to individual psychology and physiology. Marx is more on the level of saying things (true but limited) that, capitalism makes for stupid work that cripples people's minds and bodies. He almost never tries to explain how this sort of thing produces values that themselves have psychological, physiological, and sociological effects that have their own dynamic. Don't mistake me, I like Marx's psychology. there just isn't very much of it.
