Michael Harrington has rescued Marxism from some of the most entrenched distortions perpetrated by Marx's critics and by Marxists from whom those critics learned the Marxism they reject. Harrington and I are in agreement on a number of broad but crucial questions about the nature of Marxism and of a Marxist approach to ethics today. My Marx too is a moralist, a democratic humanist, and a subtle social analyst rather than a doctrinaire economic determinist. I will follow Harrington's lead in identifying myself and my Marxism politically in order to clarify our different interpretations of Marx.
