[lbo-talk] On the threat from religion: Ziyad Husami

[James Heartfield]

Well, on 'Docile Body' B's advice, I read Ziyad Husami's Marx on Distributive Justice, and I can understand now why he is not much referred to on this side of the Atlantic, nor I suspect all that much on the other side. All in all Husami does not understand historical specificity, the key to Marx's social theory, which is how he can confuse capitalist standards of justice with the broader goal of human emancipation. It is a bit of a bore that one has to constantly re-invent the wheel.
