Increasing tendency for crisis? What do you view as the relation between
the LTGRPD and cycles?

Isn't one of the manifestations of the crisis a over-production of
commodities? Overproduction relative to *what*? To the extent that
capitalists can sell their commodities on the market for profit, doesn't
that assist the realization/actualization of surplus value and hence
transform surpolus value into profit and hence increase profitability and
hence help to restore the conditions under which accumulation can take place?
