Re: [Marxism] Marx was a "restricted consumptionist"

[David Picón Álvarez <david@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't have context for the quote either, but it seems clear to me that the 
reason why it can't be read as you suggest, is because the very nature of 
capitalist production entails the extraction of surplus from wage labour. 
While this remains the case, it is impossible for workers to consume the 
full value they produce (measured in labour time).
