>>Is labour not always a physical process? Unless, perhaps, it be the work of
angels.<<
Of course it's physical. But as far as I can see, its physicality is necessary
but not sufficient to labor being _socially necessary abstract_ labor time
(SNALT). The societal environment of capitalism determines which labors are
counted as part of SNALT.
I was hoping that we weren't getting into a debate about this stuff at this
point...
