I fear I did not make my self clear. I most emphatically do not have any
reason to assume a priori that transcendence of the value-form (the concept
is Marx's) will by itself guarantee a more humanistic society. Indeed the
general thrust of my comments was intended to be highly sceptical about the
possibilities of predicting the nature of a post-capitalist society.
Comradely greetings.
