I don't understand your point, Ian. "Capital good" producing labour is
typically a type of wage labour which is exchanged against capital.
Moreover, why is capital good producing labour "not too useful"? Don't
means of production which take the commodity form have a use-value? If
they have a use-value, doesn't this presuppose that they are (or can
be) useful?
