Angelus Novus,
Please calm yourself your down and stop the accusations. Does Marx
recognize the importance of child labor? Yes.
Should we consider children to have consented to labor contracts?
No. Therefore, Marx does not say that the capitalist
mode of production necessarily depends on formally free wage labor
Did you consider that *the proletarian family* "consented" to
contracts for the labor of its children? The family is paid a wage for
its labor.
How does that contradict "formally free wage labor?"
Of course, the main thing is that the nature (the total developmental
process) of any entity is fully represented by its *mature* stage. So
its downright petulant to deny that "the capitalist mode of production
necessarily depends on formally free wage labor,"
