The bottom line basis of deployment is based on what is profitable to the bourgeois property relations as individual owners or an institutional relations based on private ownership of the productive forces.   A multiplicity of other contradictory factors flow from the property relations within this form of social production. Other contradictions flow from the fact of human beings engaging production no matter what the property relations.   Melvin P.
