Hi Alejandro:
 
There is no mystery, dilemma, or contradiction here if you recall that
what is being considered in this thread is a positive (but very
abstract) analysis of the commodity-form under capitalism. Possible normative
conclusions have not been considered - nor should they be given the
very abstract level of analysis.
 
In solidarity, Jerry _______________________________________________
