hm, well in the context of Karl's writing, he was discussing Hegel's
dialectics, and material dialectics as different methodologies, as
methods of understanding history. i never quite figured out how that
worked, i mean, he was basically arguing that all methodologies are
ideological because they must, of necessity, nullify other methods in
order to be 'comprehensive' to the task at hand - but given what Karl and
Fred wrote about ideology, i was a bit confused as to how material
dialectics could be ideological, but, ...what, not in a "bad" way?
yuk.
oh the Marx-police are coming to take me awaaaay....
