It takes a party
The fifth essence of leninism
This does not imply
Becoming a state party
But it does mean
A Leninist vanguard cadre party
Able to morph thru endemic
Constitution
into
a disciplined administrative apparatus
As well as a deliberative innovating
Policy evolving
Rank and file empowering
Body
A consistent player
and at once a game changer

Co ops remedy to exploitation?
No ......the FIRE SECTOR
MUST BE FULLY SOCIALIZED
Re call the formulation

Two channel earned income with two sources : market wage and social wage
USWR
universal social wage rate
Try here say
5 dollars an hour
For 20 hours a week
100 dollars a week max
Say 1000 hours a year times
175 million wage earners
Under a trillion buck program
No big deal really

Marxist value theory and the marginalist revolution
Does marginal cost pricing
Free to vary from average cost
Conflict
with classical
average cost plus pricing
Of course it does
With increasing unit productivity
And falling unit cost
A capitalist firm
is constrained by break even prices
Or it bleeds red ink unto death
On the other hand
Demand constrained markets
By definition
Are pricing above marginal unit cost
If the goal is simple operating profit max
Marginal Unit COST
c (q) = FC /Q + vc (Q)
q = marginal unit sold
Q = total units sold
FC = fixed costs
c(q)< price

Right now we should have a complete output of wage data
Location mapped and time stamped to process in real time
Let's drop the inate tendencytoward ultra rapid
unitary product price and wage rate models
That assume what markets need to prove to us

Markets
Acting thru time and location
Many markets by tupe of commodity
Time and location
at least one
for each commodity type
many many firms
even more distinct
Commodities
What a scramble of crossing and double crossing decisions
The basic unit a single
if an n compounding of items
Then itemized into n distinct transactions
transaction data (T DATA )
Items prices
Time place buyer seller payment terms
Surely we can build a raw t data gathering system
and at various scales And scopes etc
Real time info streams
Look at the real system out there
With more and more T level

Analytic value theory
Hey
The market economy
is a discrete
System
With discrete money prices and transactions
Yes there are results from analytic
Like in number theory can be valid but .....
Models with discretion are better
The uncountable infinitesmals and info its
Are Zeus like powers
Leave the lightening and thunder bolts to the ivory academy bell tower

Point of production v point of extraction in exploitation process
The two points neednt ever coincide at all
The capitalist production system tends
To equalize product level profits
Thru market forces dynamic impact
on firm level product
Mark up realizations
This is by no means a simple reflection
Of the exploitation of the direct labor inputed into that product at that stage by that firm alone .....
Market mediated competion for jobs
may optimally equalize wages for
Certain tasks across firms
But this only equalizes that tasks rate of exploitation without determining the exact rate of that exploitation or it's points of extraction in the whole system of production and circulation
Capitalist breakdown part II
Discussion of the formula Edit
The number of years n down to the absolute crisis thus depends on four conditions:
The level of organic composition Ω. The higher this is the smaller the number of years. The crisis is accelerated.
The rate of accumulation of the constant capital ac, which works in the same direction as the level of the organic composition of capital.
The rate of accumulation of the variable capital av, which can work in either direction, sharpening the crisis or defusing it, and whose impact is therefore ambivalent.
The level of the rate of surplus value s, which has a defusing impact; that is, the greater is s, the greater is the number of years n, so that the breakdown tendency is postponed.
The accumulation process could be continued if the earlier assumptions were modified:
the rate of accumulation of the constant capital ac is reduced, and the tempo of accumulation slowed down;
the constant capital is devalued which again reduces the rate of accumulation ac;
labour power is devalued, hence wages cut, so that the rate of accumulation of variable capital av is reduced and the rate of surplus value s is enhanced;
finally, capital is exported, so that again the rate of accumulation ac is reduced.
These four major cases allow us to deduce all the variations that are actually to be found in reality and which impart to the capitalist mode of production a certain elasticity ...
Much of the remainder of Grossman's book is devoted to exploring these "elasticities" or counter-crisis tendencies, tracking both their logical and their actual, historical development. Examples of each would include:
Depressed interest rates, investment capital transferred to unproductive speculation, e.g. housing stock, art objects.
Enlarged state sector bleeds value from the accumulation process via taxes. Wars destroy capital values.
The Reserve army of labour (unemployed) created to discipline wage claims.
Imperialism
Capitalist Breakdown grossman
c = constant capital. Initial value = co. Value after j years = cj
v = variable capital. Initial value = vo. Value after j years = vj
s = rate of surplus value (written as a percentage of v)
ac = rate of accumulation of constant capital c
av = rate of accumulation of variable capital v
k = consumption share of capitalists
S = mass of surplus value,
being:
{\displaystyle k+{a_{c}\cdot c \over 100}+{a_{v}\cdot v \over 100}} k+{a_{{c}}\cdot c \over 100}+{a_{{v}}\cdot v \over 100}
Ω = organic composition of capital,
or c:v
{\displaystyle c_{0}} c_{0}: {\displaystyle v_{0}} v_{0})
j = number of years
Further, let
{\displaystyle r=1+{a_{c} \over 100}} r=1+{a_{c} \over 100}
and let
{\displaystyle w=1+{a_{v} \over 100}} w=1+{a_{v} \over 100}
The formula Edit
After j years, at the assumed rate of accumulation ac, the constant capital c reaches the level:
{\displaystyle c_{j}=c_{o}\cdot r^{j}} c_{j}=c_{{o}}\cdot r^{j}
At the assumed rate of accumulation av,
the variable capital v reaches the level:
{\displaystyle v_{j}=v_{o}\cdot w^{j}} v_{j}=v_{{o}}\cdot w^{j}
The year after (j + 1) accumulation is continued as usual, according to the formula:
{\displaystyle S=k+{c_{o}\cdot r^{j}\cdot a_{c} \over 100}+{v_{o}\cdot w^{j}\cdot a_{v} \over 100}={s\cdot v_{o}\cdot w^{j} \over 100}} S=k+{c_{{o}}\cdot r^{{j}}\cdot a_{c} \over 100}+{v_{{o}}\cdot w^{{j}}\cdot a_{v} \over 100}={s\cdot v_{{o}}\cdot w^{j} \over 100}
whence
{\displaystyle k={v_{o}\cdot w^{j}(s-a_{v}) \over 100}-{c_{o}\cdot r^{j}\cdot a_{c} \over 100}} k={v_{{o}}\cdot w^{{j}}(s-a_{{v}}) \over 100}-{c_{{o}}\cdot r^{{j}}\cdot a_{c} \over 100}
For k to be greater than 0, it is necessary that:
{\displaystyle {v_{o}\cdot w^{j}(s-a_{v}) \over 100}>{c_{o}\cdot r^{j}\cdot a_{c} \over 100}} {v_{{o}}\cdot w^{{j}}(s-a_{{v}}) \over 100}>{c_{{o}}\cdot r^{{j}}\cdot a_{c} \over 100}
k = 0 for a year n, if:
{\displaystyle {v_{o}\cdot w^{n}(s-a_{v}) \over 100}={c_{o}\cdot r^{n}\cdot a_{c} \over 100}} {v_{{o}}\cdot w^{{n}}(s-a_{{v}}) \over 100}={c_{{o}}\cdot r^{{n}}\cdot a_{c} \over 100}
The timing of the absolute crisis
is given by the point at which
the consumption share of the entrepreneur vanishes completely,
long after it has already started to decline. This means:
{\displaystyle ({r \over w})^{n}={s-a_{v} \over \Omega \cdot a_{c}}} ({r \over w})^{n}={s-a_{v} \over \Omega \cdot a_{c}}
whence n = {\displaystyle {log\left({\frac {s-a_{v}}{\Omega \cdot a_{c}}}\right)} \over {log\left({\frac {100+a_{c}}{100+a_{v}}}\right)}} {{log\left({\frac {s-a_{v}}{\Omega \cdot a_{c}}}\right)} \over {log\left({\frac {100+a_{c}}{100+a_{v}}}\right)}}
This is a real number as long as s > av
But this is what we assume anyway throughout our investigation. Starting from time-point n, the mass of surplus value S is not sufficient to ensure the valorisation of c and v under the conditions postulated.
