No you silly boy. I mean that we have to engage in the class struggle over the social product of labour until we're strong enough to take it all i.e. abolish the wages system. If the DP gives us more back than the RP, which is usually the case a la FDR and so on, then so be it. Best, Mike B) ===== **************************************************************** But certainly for the present age, which prefers the sign to the thing signified, the copy to the original, fancy to reality, the appearance to the the essence...illusion only is *sacred*, truth *profane*. Nay, sacredness is held to be enhanced in proportion as truth decreases and illusion increases, so that the highest degree of illusion comes to be the highest degree of sacredness.
