OK. You read Marx very differently than I do. You also take the CGP "marginal notes" way more seriously than I do, and you read it differently than I do.
Good luck on your path. I prefer mine. ***************
I’ve come to this conclusion as well. The social product of labour *should* belong to the associated producers. That it doesn't within the legal confines of contracts and justice as put forward by the capitalist State's system of laws, laws which legitmize the marketplace of commodites, is something I concede. I think Marx conceded it as well. Justin agrees that the wages system must be abolished, but wishes to go on with some kind of market commodity production. I don’t know why anybody would argue for such a society, but so be it. I agree more with the thrust of your posts, but I don't doubt Justin's committment to greater freedom than what now exists under capitalist democracy. But what the hell. In the end, we must ALL decide together what kind of communist society we want to create and any step towards more freedom is a step in the direction of progress, IMO.
