I'm being fanciful? You've packed about six howlers into this little stretch of words. Where does "Marxist" FROP theory say anything about demand? It's a 100-percent supply-side argument. It says nothing whatsoever about demand. It says profits fall because the cost of factories and machines (the organic composition of capital) rises too fast.
Meanwhile, have prices been falling? Has demand been exceeding supply? Has anybody been making profits? Are the rich getting richer? You can't make profits in saturated markets?
Apparently, we're not reading the same newspapers...
