Ian, no. 
 
I don't distinguish between two types of 'accumulation of capital', but 
rather only one centered around an increase of the proletariat. I am not 
interested in a concept involving c/v increasing conditional upon v 
constant. If we want to discuss c/v changing, then we discuss it. The 
deeper point is to have 'accumulation of capital' have a content which 
focuses upon the working class. This is more substantive than using 
'accumulation of capital' thrown all over as a sort of high-sounding phrase 
pretty much meaning 'capitalism'. 
 
I believe this is consistent with the Marx's deeper intent, but there is a 
certain ambiguity in his language which I address. 
 
Hope this helps, Paul
