Charles:>The contradictions dealt with in the absolute general law of capitalist accumulation are the poverty and unemployment that inherently accompany technological progress under capitalist relations of production, a contradiction of regress and progress, with regress being "absolute" and progress relative.<
me: I'd say that poverty and unemployment are _results_ of the contradiction. ^^^^^^ CB: A result of which contradiction ? ------------------ the class contradiction. Capitalist class domination encourages the existence of unemployment, for example, to motivate people to do alienated labor & to accept exploitation. But under certain circumstances, e.g., Nazi Germany, there isn't much unemployment at all. Brute force replaces it. jd
