commercial socialism

  if you live
 in a world 

where
 commodities
 are
 still produced

and who doesn't

where
only  fools
fail to observe 
the law of value

( even
 if they
wisely
 choose 
to violate it
anyway )

then
isn't
any real time 
 socialism

bound to be

 commercialism 
                  too ?


 =====================




I contend  

 our better future
involves

 a stage 
of commercial 
socialism

      in fact 
          if not
     in name

so
maybe we
 ought to 
 rid our selves
of any
 patty burger
nose pinch
reaction
 we 
STILL display
when
in the company
 of 
 mundane commerce
----------------------------------------
ITS NOT
 ALL  ABOUT 
THE PECULIAR COMMODITY
STUPID
----------------------


sure sure sure

capitalist
   exploitation
 requires
exploited
 wagelings 
bought on markets


i get that
 folks 


but lowly 
commerce 
is only
 a  precondition.....

a place to cheat
for sure

but 
not exploit

--------------------------------
payin full price
 for
a 6 pack of peculars

and
then
 gettin em to build
 you a house for sale
and
 a nice profit
 on the side 

that 
ain't cheatin right?

( long as you pay 
"the prevailing wage" )

( by the way
don't forget
its only
exploiting
 if you turn a profit 
on the sale
either
fer yerself 
or someone 
 else)

(by the way 

profits 

comrades

believe me 

they
 ain't automatic)

(speaking
 of which

 maybe  
you all 
should
have  
a few
 red ink
 moments  
yourself
some time ... 

see how 
the better half
 lives for once...

then again

if you'd
just as soon
remain a spectator 

you can always
vide
 my

" another shade of red"
              posts 

here at the house ) 

-----------------------------------------

back to my present-point


now

that all being
granted

it follows 

when socialism
comes back 
 around 
the bend of history
 again

if
there
 still 
will be
 commodities
and 
there will

then
since
 where 
you got 
C's 
you got
markets 

whether you
 want em or not

whether
brass banded 
or 
speak easied


since
the big C
means the big M

even if 
you got 
no
 peculiar C's
running free  
selling themselves
 and getting exploited

even if
morphed 
considerably

commerce
is there waiting
to continue 

cause
commerce 
is not just 
a precondion
 of capitalism
   its a 
post conditon too                 


so 
i say

" heres to you stinko"

and while I'm at it

" here's to you 
too
' law of value'

 in every instance
may
 you both
expire
right on time

not 
     a minute
           too soon 
nor 
    a minute
            too late "
