This is the core of the problem.  "Active Marxists" are irrevelant.  Even
though only a teeny weeny portion of the literate public is interested in
this subject matter, the idea that one addresses only one's comrades
already condemns one to hopeless provincialism.  You have no qualms about
importing natural science as a non-Marxist frame of reference for
adjudicating knowledge claims.  This is a sound principle to follow in all
matters.
