 "title": "The liquidation of method: the sign 'Marx' from Engels to Piketty",
 "description": "The Liquidation of Method argues that Marx offered a method and that its reception, from Engels through Mao, Fanon and Piketty, turned it into content, with English 'for/against' forcing it into positions while the 1857 Introduction goes untaught. It proposes a liquidation audit and a method-versus-content contrast test, and forecasts the same capture for the Semantic Economy, Autonomous Semantic Warfare and the Crimson Hexagon. From Atomism to the Semantic Condition reads the 1841 dissertation as the metaphysical core of the system, and the Autumn Notebook reads Marx's work as a retrocausal loop.",
