I think he's saying that Marx was right. You know, contradictions and all that. :0

No, although he was right about quite a few things.

A while back, on an old incarnation of the Glade I was a bit dickish to Khross over his opposition to my erroneous notion that Smith was certainly not the father of Marxist thought. As I have continued to research Smith, I came across that passage, and felt I owed Khross an apology.

It sounds to me like he's arguing against government-granted monopolies like the East India Company and such.

Short Version: Marx wasn't working in a vacuum.

Not So Short Version: Marx used the work of Smith, Hegel, and some not so remember German economists to come up with Das Kapital.
