[lbo-talk] Ingo Elbe: Between Marx, Marxism, and Marxisms

[Angelus Novus]

A translation is in progress for Ingo Elbe's essay "Between Marx, Marxism, and Marxisms".  The essay serves as an introduction to the German "Neue Marx-Lektuere" by way of a critique of Engelsian "Marxism" as well as Western Marxism.  It is also something of an early version of the first chapter of Elbe's book, _Marx im Westen. Die neue Marx-Lektüre in der Bundesrepublik seit 1965_ ("Marx in the West: The New Reading of Marx in the Federal Republic of Germany since 1965)

The following sections are already translated, with more to come:
