1) Who is ignoring household relations? I certainly don't read Paul M as
suggesting that. And it was most certainly not "an elegant excuse" by
Paul.

2) To ask "what does this fine distinction do for you politically" is to
ask the wrong question. The "ultimate aim" of _Capital_ was to "reveal the
economic law of motion of modern society". It was not intended as a "How
to" book re strategy and tactics for revolutionaries.
