German Finance Minister Peer Steinbrück admits that Marx was right!

Although he demonstrates only the most vulgar understanding of him.  He here gives us a dictum in response to Spiegel which should be deployed by anti- and post-capitalists as much as by the overlords themselves:

SPIEGEL: One cannot regulate morality.

Steinbrück: No, but that too is dialectics. The elites must understand that it is a matter of self-protection, of developing a sense of the right balance or allowing judgment to prevail.

Deflation will deploy itself as a waiting just like this:  a balanced futurity open even to the possibility of a strategic judgement, despite the obvious peril, the suspension of suspension, strategic essentialisms, decisions shot through with undecidability, etc.
