    And those looms inspired Chuck Babbage to build the Difference Engine, which was at the 1862 World’s Fair. Years before Marx started writing Capital.

    So again, when you say these machines are inconceivable to Marx…

    "you keep using that word."

      Blah blah blah

      The difference engine was never built by Babbage.

        What was at the 1862 World Fair then? That pesky word you used…

        Your beliefs rest on

        1. This clearly conceived thing not being conceived
        2. An implied assertion Marx wouldn’t be aware of specific large events

        If you could prove either, I guess you’d be in the clear, but for some reason you’re insisting upon both.
