Amazing ... you haven't "made up your mind" yet about value theory, but
have just written a "Marxist" work claiming to be about political economy.

Perhaps you might not realize it yet, but taking a position on value
theory is a somewhat more important question related to political economy
than forecasting the amount of pink carnations in the US in the
next calendar year.  For someone who has an interest in political
economy, not having a position on value is equivalent to a diesel mechanic
saying she has no knowledge of engines.
