You clearly claim to know that something is not 'in itself', so you must know 'in itself' to say that something is not 'it'.

Not at all, sometime all I can know of one thing is that it is not another thing. Whatwe do know, is that there is a difference, not necessarily what the difference is.

This is incomprehensible, YMS.You call this your 'scientific method'?And you're still bangin' on about "I", rather than social production.No wonder you won't have workers' democracy, but argue for elites, like you, who 'know' (but not 'difference') what the rest of us apparently can't.

Ah! What a shame, robbo.You were playing games all along!You still won't read what I'm writing.Ah well, back to the merry-go-round:end of the snake in box 42, robbo.I'll have to wait now until someone posts who's genuinely interested in discussing Marx's social theory and practice, and democratic production.

With a response like this its not surprising that no one takes you seriously anymore. I've tried to engage with you in a serious argument but you always seem to end up with evasive comments and childish riddles.  Enough is enough.Enjoy your self imposed exile to Alice's wonderland, LBird

No it isn't.No I don't.I am socially produced.No I don't.

Thanks, robbo!I presume I won't be seeing you there, and only those interested in Marx and social production will make the journey.Say "Hello!" to 'reality' for me, robbo, since only you and your elite 'know' what 'reality' actually 'is'.Right! Off to the socialist wonderland, comrades, but unfortunately robbo won't be joining us.

No it isn't.No I don't.I am socially produced.No I don't.

And this is the SPGB dealing with epistemology, and the politics of 'science'?Hmmmm…. curiouser and curiouser… as Alice said. I've heard of a politics without a party, but never a party without a politics.

All I know about yellow is that it's instances are like the colour of objects that someone called yellow the last time the word was used.  I know that yellow isn't green, isn't red, etc.  But, can I come up with any positive definition of yellow, a list of properties?
