Anyone actually read this? I'm guessing it's just more propaganda for his d@w project. It's frustrating when literally nothing Wolff says has anything in common with any of Marx's critiques or analyses, yet he insists on attaching Marx's name to his ideas. (I actually wonder if he's even read the first volume of Capital.) I'm a bit surprised to not see more people challenging him, unless they don't think it's worth their time in which case I might agree. I don't understand, for example, how he can describe members of his WSDEs advancing capital and creating commodities for exchange in the market as "socialist". His sourcing of the problem as evil non-worker capitalists making bad decisions, and call for workers to manage their own enterprises instead, also just ignores Marx saying the exact opposite:
Hence Capital is reckless of the health or length of life of the labourer, unless under compulsion from society. To the out-cry as to the physical and mental degradation, the premature death, the torture of over-work, it answers: ought these to trouble us since they increase our profits? But looking at things as a whole, all this does not, indeed, depend on the good or ill will of the invidiual capitalist. Free competition brings out the inherent laws of capitalist production, in the shape of external coercive laws having power over every individual capitalist.
I haven't read it or really any of his stuff, but I have started to see people push him recently, so it would probably be worth someone doing a critique if they have time.
Similarly I haven't read David Harvey, but https://libcom.org/library/companion-david-harveys-companion-marxs-capit... was useful to understand why he ends up pushing alternative currencies and etc.
