I did it as two (created) images.
You are better just using plain text and putting links into your posts.
And why would any socialist accept a bourgeois definition?
To criticise it.
Some try to adopt it, on the basis that they see the law of value continuing into socialist society, but it is best IMNSHO used as part of a criticism of how capitalism is not run in our interests. tehre may be some element that can be used in decadence theory.
Absolutely so. As an active trade unionist I found the party’s critiques of capitalist economics at the time re inflation indispensable, as workers were being assailed on all sides, with their wage demands being called ‘inflationary’ even though in their guts we knew those claims to be nuts, the theoretical underpinning stiffened our resolve.
They’re the ones working really hard for shit wages, being told by their academic betters, who really understand this sort of stuff, that they are unproductive.
They are not being told this by academic elites, but by their fellow workers.
He is doing a ‘Left’ version of Libertarian nonsense that workers are wealthier now and therefore not exploited, which ignores the increased rate of exploitation at the points of production (wherever they occur) and the precariousness of the service sectors.
In any case capitalism is global and apart from workers in high volume low earning service sectors being acutely impoverished, the rest are using devices being manufactured in conditions resembling earlier capitalist development, child labour etc.
This type of splitist focus takes us away from advocating the global common class interests of the immense majority, even those who think they are not working class any more, to relieve the superfluous economic parasite class of their ‘burden’ of ownership.

I replied to the original article.
As below.
Sure. I corrected the date but not quickly enough. The party’s business is taking too long to appear on spintcom and I am miffed at this as well as Tim. The new EC can still kick ass if needed and feedback to the branches.
Tim,
You will get more members attention on spintcom. That is where internal matters such as this are usually done. There has been a bit of a hiatus due to changeover etc to the new lists but they are in general quite sufficient for the purpose.
