CB: S.Artesian sits on his one fart donkey, rate of profit ( or is it the  
OCC ?) doing those Motown dances he's so good at. Rate of acc. of profit ! honk 
 
! Rate of acc. of profit honk ! 

And what are workers gonna do about that Ârate of acc. of profit but watch it 
like the stars in the sky. 

Hey, Âsisters and brothers lets fight for a bigger piece of the pie. That'll 
put an Âend to this business cycle. 

And what about this two step ? ÂOverproduction , underprofitization 
Overproduction, Âunderprofitization

"Hey, sisters and brothers lets fight for a bigger piece of the pie. ÂThat'll 
put an end to this business cycle." 
 
This is simply untrue. 
 
Increased consumption under capitalism inevitably leads to the  
revolutionizing of the means of production, as each capital competes to realize 
Âmore 
profits from this increased consumption. This tendency sets the stage Âof the 
next 
and deeper crisis. 
 
The only way to end the business cycle is to change that, which is  
fundamental to and creates the business cycle in the first place. The property 
 
relations. 
 
What the extremely important fighting for a "bigger slice of the Âbourgeois 
pie," does and has done, is driven the capitalist system through its Âvarious 
quantitative boundaries, as the inescapable spontaneous movement of the  
working class; as it has defined our concrete task as communists. 
 
The workers cannot NOT, fight for an expanded share of the social products  
and more greater political liberty because NOT to fight back means to be  
reduced below the level of existence below that of chattel slaves. The Âslave 
master had to ensure the feeding of his slaves as the preservation of 
Âcapital. 
This is not true in the case of the modern working class. A billion Âdead 
workers 
today means less non-producing consumers and heightens the danger Âof world 
war to an unbearable degree. Â 
 
Revolution is not a conspiracy. What brings the workers to revolution is Âthe 
logic of capitalism, not communist agitation. No one has to tell people  
already fighting to fight. Â 
 
This is why the spontaneous movement of the working class is Âspontaneous in 
the first place; NOT TO BE REDUCED TO PAUPERS AND SLAVES! Â The logic of 
capital compels the workers to fight and resist in all kinds Âof ways. As a 
general 
rule the communists emerge as leaders in this fight Âdue to our organization 
as a compact group; ideological commitment to the cause Âof the workers and 
years of learning "how to fight back." Â 

This does not means we forsake our responsibility as communists, which ties  
us to educating the workers concerning the nature and dimensions of the system 
Âof wage slavery.
