It's up to our descendants to eliminate commodity production. And this thread is about whether we can or cannot des ribe how they will do it. And there are titanic transformations and struggles, disasters and victories, unespected horrors and and wonders separating us from that process. But as lont as the labor of P in any way defines the meaning of the labor of Q, there you have capitalism and unfreedom. Carrol ^^^^^^^ CB: Leaving this task entirely to our descendents makes Marxism for us objectively the same as Christian doctrines which promise pie-in-the-sky-in-the-bye-and-bye. Marxists struggle for Onward to Socialism in their lifetime until the day they die. Contingency and uncertainty mean that we may be closer to the revolution than it seems, and that it is not possible to pronounce socialism as "in the future not in the present." The Russian Revolution was a surprise to most of the world. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
