only in so far as engels is unwilling to consider alternate perspectives.
as I supposed earlier, his criticism sounds more like he's trying to academically armbar moritz's interpretation rather than suggest moritz doesn't actually understand the base and superprojection relationship.
he just understands it and discusses it in a way engels doesn't approve of.
that's how engels is coming off, anyway.
That's a fair interpretation, but it's also worth noting that Materialism in its Dialectical form was very new, ie created by Marx. There was a ton of misunderstanding surrounding his theories (which remains today).
ha, nothing truer these days.
