If labour time expended in sectors I and II goes up but workers actual
consumption does not, and environmental conditions have not so changed
as to require more necessary labour time, then yes.

Paul C:

Suppose there was a period of generalized capitalist offensive
against the working class which succeeded in raising the intensity
of labor for _all_ workers?  For purposes of discussion, assume that no other changes (including technological change, changes
in wages, and actual hours of work) have taken place. From your perspective, has the magnitude of surplus value increased or not?

In solidarity, Jerry
