Could you provide an honest answer to this question: Do YOU claim a
*mastery* of dialectics?

Given the state of the texts, very few if any Marxists today could
claim such mastery, because it requires a thorough grounding in Hegel,
which in turn requires a deep understanding of Kant. Few with the
patience to require such understanding of doctrines in philosophy's
history have had the time, energy, or inclination to master the laws
governing "matter and in higher forms of its organization including
society and its development."
