Fair enough. But I say this as someone who has followed your published work for years with high regard: the reason Rev has articulated your arguments more clearly than you have is not your writing or how you write. It is that your 'value-form' framework appears to stop you from taking your sharp insights on money to their logical conclusions. You appear to treat the state as only parasitic, and never a force for social and industrial development. By reducing communism to an immediate abolition of the working day and viewing the state as just an obstacle to dissolve rather than seize, you disregard the class struggle and planned development needed for a world system of communism of free-time.
Articulates Jehu’s arguments more clearly than Jehu usually manages.
Great X response to Villarreal too, between you/this and Morlock
Well, in my defense, Rev does have a more demanding audience since I have only ever written for myself.

I have no problem with anyone articulating the idea that communism is free time and nothing else better than me.
