On the question of critique and political economy, for what it's worth, here's a passage from p. 202 of Beyond Capital: >The critique of the political economy of capital is completed only by the >realisation of the political economy of the working class--- a communist >society. As long as producers are not their own mediator, the >mystification of everyday life and the alienation of human beings from >their own powers continue: > > The veil is not removed from the countenance of the social > life-process, i.e. the process of material production, until > it becomes production by freely associated men, and stands under > their conscious and planned control (Marx, 1977: 173).
