Reply To: The Myth of Nordic 'Socialism'

The spgb article about Sweden should have included the theory of surplus value as one of the essential ideas of the Marxian theory

He does open with  this,

“Historically, Marxism has meant the materialist conception of history, the Labour Theory of Value and the political class struggle.” (My emphasis)

Although he doesn’t expand it further. I can only think space prevented him and the issue dealt also with Alienation etc as subjects, so perhaps his intention was just to expand on the Historical Materialist perspective more.
