This interesting thread petered out some time ago, and I have no time to re-start it, but I came across this quote from Marx that seems relevant to the issue as to whether primitive accumulation is ongoing after capitalism is established:
 
"The conditions and presuppositions ot the becoming, of the arising, of capital presuppose precisely that it is not yet in being but merely in becorning; they therefore disappear as real capital arises, capital which itself, on the basis of its own reality, posits the conditions for its realization" (Marx (1973), Grundrisse: Foundations of the Critique of Political Economy. Trans. Martin Nicolaus.Harmondsworth, England: Penguin:459 (cited in Bertell Ollman (2003) Dance of the Dialectic Urbana and Chicago: University of Illinois Press: 119)
