Hi Eric, Marx agrees that money and exchange play a role in a transitional society, I find extreme anti-money and exchange rhetoric quite problematic.

********** Dmytri...could you please provide us with a quote or two to back this claim up? I know that the Paris Commune was thought of by Marx as being an example of the "dictatorship of the proletariat" and thus, not yet socialism/communism. Money still existed in the Paris Commune. Is this what you mean? I don't think that you'll find anything by Marx claiming that money would exist within a socialist society.
