                Hugh,




        You ask about my use of the term "market" : "Why not just say 'real
social demand'".


        Well, how about because they mean the same thing, and "market" has
fewer letters?



        Getting dogmatic every time someone uses the word "market"
is,...unproductive.



        You also say : "Under a system of workers' states, as the world
approaches socialist economic hegemony, products will less and less take
the form of commodities."



        This is a vague declaration.  As long as people use money, goods
will be commodities.  I really hope that you aren't waiting for money to
disappear before we start the revolution.  I think the phrase "biting off
more than one can chew" applies here.



        We have to get there FROM here, comrade.  Revolution is not a magic
wand.





        peace



p.s. - by "we", I mean, naively or no, "socialists".
