> But the truth is, the same holds for Marx, who held to an entirely conventional moral system, basically that of Aristotle. Really? Marx to Engels: http://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1848/letters/48_11_29.htm http://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1848/letters/48_1... "I have devised an infallible plan for extracting money from your old man, as we now have none. Write me a begging letter (as crude as possible), in which you retail your past vicissitudes, but in such a way that I can pass it on to your mother. The old man's beginning to get the wind up." Explain how in the hell someone with a moral system that's "basically that of Aristotle" wrote this.
