Smith concludes that this ring was made of drawn wire.
Of the 16 rings mentioned previously by Dr. Smith, only 3 of them contained enough carbon to be considered steel.(9) Those three steel rings had also been heat treated to harden them.
This may have been done by testing various blooms with a chisel to find ones that seemed harder than others, or though spark testing, whereby a piece of metal is held against a grinding wheel, and a judgment made based on the color and shape of the sparks produced.

 News & Letters - The Journal of Marxist-Humanism - October 2000
Smith's article interests me as an example of the drive to separate philosophy and organization that seems to really inhere in all of post-Marx Marxism.
Smith continues, "[Dunayevskaya] quotes quite correctly Hegel's statement that 'the truths of philosophy are valueless apart from their interdependence and organic union.' But that implies that we can't pick out those bits of Hegel's work which appear to fit in with our own revolutionary ideas.
But it may also be true here, as Cyril Smith points out, that there can be found seeds of the kind of accommodation to reality that many of Hegel's followers have objected to in the PHILOSOPHY OF RIGHT.

However, political economy cannot imagine the possibility of a human way of living.
