yea this is what i mean when i say the disagreement is philosophical, because marx’s method, following hegel, is not about asserting axioms and seeing what follows in classic logical form. he has a historical dialectical method aimed at analyzing one form of social totality.
there were a group called analytical marxists that tried to reduce him to that, but i don’t regard their work positively at all and throw away what is essential in marx.
it’s difficult to convey in few words but for example here is harvey’s mapping of the argument in capital. it’s not intended to be syllogistic in a way that would make a non-continental happy
