[Michael Dawson]

So you'd throw out the baby with the bathwater?  Why?  Of course, it's only
human decency that people who can't perform normal labor, which is a
blessing, should be given a comfortable and socially meaningful existence.
But I never claimed the labor theory of value and property explains
everything.  It just explains the relationship between work and justice.
You know, just a little, small topic like that...

If you dump the LTOV, where's the injustice in capitalist industry?  Recall
that Marx claimed his discovery of the difference between labor and
labor-power was the bedrock of Das Kapital.  A good Marxist like you surely
knows that fact.
