Re:Final rejoinder: Brenner.





Of course, for Marx exchange and production are a dialectical totality,
but a dislectical totality that is determinated by the *General Social
Form* taken by the social product in its entirety. Therefore, what
characterises capitalist production is the fact that social production
has as its ultimate aim *money exchange*, no matter whether it is
produced through wage-labour or not. The various kinds of serfdom
assotciated with share-cropping of agricultural commodities that existed
- and that stll exist - in Lat. America, do not make LA societies
feudal, as the existence of slavery in the South didn't make the US (and
Brazil, for that matter) a late expression of the Slaveowning Mode of
Production.
