From Sic I.

The present article, taking the commodity form as its point of departure, is an attempt to summarise important parts of Marx's analysis of capital so as to answer: what is value; what does the abolition of capital imply; and how can a communist reorganisation of social reproduction be envisaged?

There is one big problem in Xavier Girrard's text and that is the very point of departure, for if it is impossible to balance two symmetrically opposed errors, as Dauvé himself notes, it will certainly be less possible to successfully overcome a problematic which doesn't even exist.

Marcel and Dissident have apparently grown tired of the repeated promises by class struggle and now they don't want to give it any more chances. They choose, instead, to bet their money on something new and untried, but they avoid the question as to why no previous movement has thus far ever discovered this method and put it to use.
