Jairus Banaji
“… the extremely dubious speculative juggling, with concepts and terms of materialist method, which has under pens some our Marxists transplanted methods formalism into domain dialectic; led to reducing task rendering definitions classifications more precise splitting empty abstractions four equally parts; in short, adulterated Marxism by means indecently elegant mannerisms Kantian epigones. It is a silly thing indeed endlessly sharpen or resharpen an instrument, chip away Marxist steel when apply instrument working over raw material!” (Leon Trotsky)
