And I answered him, and he said he wasn't sure that the Marxist analysis of
commodity production applied to oil.

But for the edification of others, why don't you pick up the torch and
explain to those who might not have had the benefit of  Mark's analysis, why
oil production is not commodity production?

I'm not at all surprised by your withdrawal from the discussion over this
point, because it is the essential point that distinguishes Marxist analysis
from Malthusean scarcity gibberish.
