John,
full marks for being disingenuous. You can't go round insulting people by linking a discussion of the labour theory of value to the gulag and not expect a reaction. I seem to remember you advocating giving people who called you names a bloody nose...
Some of us are capable of using ideas from one setting to explore aspects of another. It doesn't mean that we sign up to everything that anyone else who has ever used the same analytic framework has ever said or done. If so no decent person would ever speak to a Christian, or a Jew or a Muslim, or an atheist again. If I had used a bit of Heidegger's philosophy in the same post would you have accused me of being a Commie and a Nazi?
