Yes yes yes, except labour is not a substance. Another example of why 
the Aristotelean and Hegelian terminlogy is unhelpful, even as metaphor 
for doing political economy.

We'd be better off with different metaphors and axioms, that's all I'm 
saying. And as Jurriann has hinted at, we would would be better off 
measuring different patterns in the political ecology that is 
contemporary capitalism. Different metaphors would help us render 
different patterns intelligible. MFA, ELCA, all that quantifiable 
material stuff that Leontief gave us the tools to explore and link to 
geography, biology, ecology whathaveyou.
