The whole point, Alejandro, is to surpass the domination of value in determining
production and distribution. Jurriaan will disagree, but I think that while value
and markets may come to be necessary (a temporary, necessary evil) in a transitional
economy, they should be surpassed in a more advanced (socialist) society.
'Market socialism', as I've told you repeatedly, has been tried in many countries
and - using all but the most limited criteria for efficiency - has everywhere been
a failure. I know we don't agree on this, but I simply want to mark an area of
disagreement in a way in which it can not be misunderstood. (and to anticipate
possible objections, I don't care if KM thought the same way or not).
In solidarity, Jerry
