Marxdoes not say that profit and wages are a true zero sum game, this is
an inadequate description. This zero-sum game is only a special case, namely the

Yes and no. A piece of depleted uranium is not particularly radioactive
because the particles it emits are relatively big and will mostly bounce
off your skin. When it is fired, it forms tiny particles that you can
