I don't see that as the origin of such a one-dimensional focus on this
issue, since concrete reality is (by its very nature)
multidimensional. But you know better than I do.

I don't assume that you started out with your slogan. It just seems
that you start every conversation with it. Or maybe I've missed
something.

if Dunayevskaya saw the length of the working day as important as you
see it, it follows logically that N&L (if it's still around) would
emphasize the length of the working day as much as you do. Or maybe
she had a more multidimensional approach.

I think that this discussion has reached its natural end.
