[Marxism] Marx as

[Waistline2@xxxxxxx]

Comment

The same discussion of the "unrestricted  consumptionist" conception took 
place on another line. No line of reasoning had  any impact until I repacked 
the 
question as "anarchy of capitalist commodity  production." Comrade CB did not 
disagree. 
 
Bottom line: FROP - dead labor, that vampire like creature, unyielding  
increasing domination of living labor, is primary, most fundament, ever present 
 
manifestation of the capitalist commodity form; the inherent anarchy of  
production is the bourgeois mode, capitalist private property. My answer was 
the  
ultimate case of all cyclical crisis - including the current financial crisis,  
is the capitalist commodity form or the anarchy of production, because private  
ownership of production set in play - establishes the law (in the absolute 
sense  and not as a mere tendency) of the absolute fact of the FROP. 
 
I believe the concept of  "unrestricted consumptionism" is  ideological, 
rather than theoretical. The masses are out of work or need to  consume. Marx 
said 
consumption was a problem. Let's fight to raise the  consumption capacity of 
the masses.  Trying to convert Marx theory into a  daily problem is fraught 
with danger and impossible. The result is always social  democratic ideology 
and 
social democratic politics. Raise the consuming  capitalist of the masses is 
the calling card, permanent program and  policy of social democracy.
