Rather, I think the position of Michael L (and Andy, who said that
he agreed with him) dovetails with the idea that capital-in-general
takes the commodity-form and, hence, the  value-form and the
money-form.  This then  dovetails with the idea that capital-in-general
can be abolished through the abolition of  value and commodity
production and exchange (recalling, of course, that the class relations
particular to capitalism are associated with the commodity-form).
Doesn't that dovetail rather nicely with the position of  Marx?
