Stuart Hall on Marx

'There is no need to insist that there is a single, unified marxism; you have only to come into any public meeting and you can see the fifty-seven varieties. There is no need to insist that his was a dogmatically finished and completed theoretical labour...He was irreligious, deeply secular, highly rationalist, critical, theoretical and historical'

For A Marxism Without Guarantees by Stuart Hall

Frequently what is so disabling about the work of some marxist writers is that you know what is going to be said at the end before the investigation has begun, that the questions are phoney, that such writers are functioning on a closed terrain.

'Long before Marx ever hated capitalism he admired it and respected it...he had the most profound respect for its capacity to break and shatter the fettering archaic relations into which people are born'
