One cannot tell whether he means either a crude and vulgar application of Marxian concepts, or the inadvertent use of distinctively Marxian concepts by writers who really are not Marxians, or perhaps both. This is a small point, but nonetheless indicates a certain awkwardness regarding Clarke's handling of concepts.
