What? I don't see how this follows. First, whether or not
accumulation requires the existence of a reserve army has nothing
whatsoever to do with the analytical method of determining labor
values. Second, workers may have intelligence and class consciousness and
yet still produce surplus value. To assert otherwise is to beg one
of the central problematics of modern capitalist development.
