Hi Dave Z:
The reproduction of capitalism requires the reproduction of the capitalist
class. The reproduction of a capitalist class requires means of consumption
for the capitalist class. To think that you can have capitalism when the
individual members of the capitalist class consume on average the same amount
and quality of output as individual members of the working class consume
is folly.
In solidarity, Jerry
