True. It's probably a matter of seeing where form ends and where meaning begins (which is of course based on a false dichotomy :-).

That's your big point (and I agree with you on that).
His point is a reformulation of a key facet of Marx's analytical economic theory, with which I agree. I wouldn't however ever think of advocating any of Marx's proposed solutions, which took out the human nature out of the equation, for great disaster.
