[Marxism] One Man's Response to What is Overproduction, It's Link to the Falling Rate of Profit, and the Role of Consumption

[Charles Brown <cdb1003@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sartesian:
How does capital recover from this overproduction of the means of 
production-- by devaluation of the means of production, by increasing the 
intensity of the exploitation of labor, again not by or through increasing 
consumption.

How is this recovery to be defeated? By demanding greater "subsidies" for 
consumption, or by conscious organization of workers to eliminate the 
antagonism between the means of production and the conditions of labor-- to 
direct production for use, and need, and not the accumulation of value?


^^^^^
CB: So, you have only revolutionary
proposals in response to crises,
no reform proposals ?

It is not unexpected that _capital_
doesn't propose increasing consumption
as a way to recover from a crisis.
