[QUOTE="AionPhanes, post: 68996405, member: 371711"] I don't believe the proposed "Organic Marxism" is "orthodox**" Marxism in every respect. I would probably have found it rather uninteresting were it merely a doctrinaire repeat of everything Marx wrote. Much has changed since the time of Marx and some of his ideas and predictions proved spot on while others have obviously missed the mark. Any living current of thought will evolve and take new directions over time. ** This alone would probably disqualify it for that label: [INDENT] "It seems clear that there are times where market forces bring benefits within a nation and between nations; and there are other cases in which unrestrained markets produce injustices that neither local communities nor the global community should accept. A major contribution of Organic Marxism lies in its ability to blend elements from both of these two socioeconomic systems. "[/INDENT] They also specifically call for constant transformation rather than sticking to yesterdays orthodoxy so I doubt they would be to upset with the label "unorthodox" : [INDENT] "Each time categories of thought are embedded in a new context—be it a new culture, historical period, region, or political movement—they sprout and grow in new ways. Consequently, open process thinkers do not expect Marxism to be a static thing but to evolve continually, just as human social systems are constantly evolving." [/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
