Revisionists are hallucinating again . . . The bloody work of emancipation greatly affected Marx’s examination of the squalid (yet waged) conditions in England’s sectors of industrial capital. “Marx was antislavery from early on,” Hartman writes:
He disagreed with all impositions on free labor, especially literal shackles. Marx’s abolitionist zeal was a moral position, consistent with his hatred of most forms of hierarchy. It was also strategic. He believed workers everywhere were limited in their freedom so long as workers anywhere were in bondage. . . ."
Oh bondage - like CHILD LABOR?

A general prohibition of child labor is incompatible with the existence of large-scale industry and hence an empty, pious wish. Its realization -- if it were possible -- would be reactionary . . ."
The MATURE Marx!
What the Dickens!!
