Off-topic post by Robbo moved from: temporal single system interpretation thread.
It seems LBird rejects this material analysis but doesn't have an alternative – apart from we all have a vote to value items – so resorts to obfuscation and becomes frustrated
That is hardly simplifying things for fellow workers, is it?
LOL.That is to put it mildly! But I dont think LBird has the foggiest idea just how daft what he is arguing for actually is. He is a completely lost in his own little fantasy world, bless his little cotton socks. Apart from anything else, the valuation of goods according to their socially necessary labour content is an abstraction relevant only to a society in which goods take the form of commodities. It wont be relevant in the slightest to a communist society in which commodity production has ceased to exist. End of.

We have that now.
