my basic position is this: if you or marx or anybody else don't like what i choose to alienate myself from then fuck you.

and, this idea that i can't see through it - that i'm just brainwashed in some system of control - is insulting, and fuck you for suggesting that, too.

i'll alienate myself from what i bloody well choose to alienate myself from.

and, i think i'm getting my point across. for all of the terminology and pretentious references, this is really just marx getting moral on your ass, about things he has no right to criticize you for. and, he should fuck off.

i'll continue to point to his substantive critique of classical economics, though.
