When I hear people say this I have ask, what are you in favor of then? Gosplan? Gosplan plus fiber optics? When Radical Chains criticizes Bhaskar & Co. for failing to reject the value form, what do they want? Cooperatives producing locally? I just don't see how you can run a complex industrialized society without retaining some form of market exchange at any time in the foreseeable future. I'm willing to be convinced of the contrary, but I'm skeptical.
