A short comment on Andy's [OPE-L:1938]:

> Value must express itself in its own opposite, viz., use value.

The opposite of value is not use value.

The opposite of use value is exchange value.

Nonetheless, the negation of use value prior to sale requires that value
also is negated since if a product doesn't have use value, it can't have
exchange value, and therefore can't have value and therefore can't be a
commodity.

In solidarity, Jerry
