April 4, 2020 at 3:40 am #197892ZJWParticipant<Socialism, Communism, Association—A rose by another name> contains:‘[…] he imagines ‘an association of free men (<i>sic</i>), working […]’What Marx wrote was ‘Verein freier Menschen’– association of free persons, *not* ‘Verein freier Männer’ – association of free men. (The German differentiation between ‘Mensch’ and ‘Mann’ is found throughout Germanic languages other than English.)Old-fashioned translations into English may use ‘of men’, but that is no reason to go on quoting it, then adding ‘[sic]’.Perhaps, with the agreement of the writer, ‘men’ can be corrected to ‘persons’ (or ‘individuals’?) in the internet edition of SS?Otherwise, a very fine article. of course.April 4, 2020 at 4:14 am #197893markusuboyParticipantHi.
It’s Mike, the author of that article. Thanks for pointing out the old-fashioned parlance. Could Matt or whoever has the power, please change the “men” to “individuals” for me.
One other thing I noticed is that the photo used of Teinosuke Otani is not him. Although Otani also had glasses and was Asian, that’s about as far as the resemblance goes. I see that the faux Otani shows up in a Google search, so I understand why it was used, and it must be too late to replace it with his actual image, but I wanted to point it out nevertheless.
On a separate note, if anyone happens to be bemoaning the incompetent response to the pandemic by your own central government, be reassured to know that the response is equally if not far worse here in Japan. Or I should say there simply is not response, to speak of.
YfS,
Mike

I can’t edit the PDF version unfortunately.
