Critique of Mathematically Perfected Economy

Post-Autistic or Axiomatic Economics?

the strange option of Marxism

Khayembii Communique is an avowed Marxist. Ask him if I have badly described the Marxist position. My poll originally had only five options, but I added the Marxist choice after this exchange with Khayembii:

Property relations change, thereby making the laws of ecomonics (i.e. bourgeois economics) obsolete, as they were in the past and as they will be in the future.

Economics IS property relations. To claim that the same economic laws have governed human society since the first homo-sapien-sapiens gathered together is simply laughable, and I can't even take that seriously.

As I have already said, I can't take anyone seriously that thinks that economics of every single human society on the planet is maintained by the exact same laws throughout all time.

"Economics is property relations," quoth Khayembii the Marxist. Khayembii likes me not at all, but I do not believe that he would have any problem with checking the Marxist option in my poll.

Any comment, Khayembii Communique?

I'm not talking about determinism; this is yet another soldier in your army of straw men. This is why I always get bored so quickly when talking with people like you about this.

I would also like to suggest this article by Hal Draper regarding the so-called "inevitability of socialism".

Incorrect, Marx spent most of his theoretical analysis on criticizing capitalism from a biased standpoint

But if it is economic reality that must be the criterion of the ideal, then it is comprehensible that a moral criterion for the ideal is unsatisfactory, not because the moral feelings of men deserve indifference or contempt, but because these feelings are not enough to show us the right way of serving the interests of our neighbour. It is not enough for the doctor to sympathize with the condition of his patient: he has to reckon with the physical reality of the organism, to start from it in fighting it. If the doctor were to think of confining himself to moral indignation against the disease, he would deserve the most malicious ridicule.
-G.I. Plekhanov
