-- Theoretically bad-ass --

Thank you, RED DAVE -- it's been invaluable to have your responses on the threads we've both been active on.

You have a real sense of the democratic allocation of labor under socialism.

Thanks, robbo -- a summary / update to the model that I advocate is at this post, from the 'Technocracy and Communism' thread:

Hi Ciahatsu, Check this out and if it is of any interest to you you might want to join / a brand new yahoo group http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/ecaworkinggroup/

Cool -- I was living in South Shore '05-'07 but had to move back to the north side....

Oh what part of Chicago do you stay in? I'm on the south side.

communist supply & demand -- Model of Material Factors

This is an 8-1/2" x 40" wide table that describes a communist-type political / economic model using three rows and six descriptive columns. The three rows are surplus-value-to-overhead, no surplus, and surplus-value-to-pleasure. The six columns are ownership / control, associated material values, determination of material values, material function, infrastructure / overhead, and propagation.

Radhika Desai put up a chart that listed different sources of for crises in a capitalist economy. I think you might find it interesting; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmrJyL1nQU8
the chart becomes visible around 2:30

Currently production requires [1] labor, and [2] capital, right? Without the abstracted, bullshit capital-market-pricing valuation at play we would have to have a *political economy* that *collectively, consciously* assumes mass control and planning over society's productive capacities, right?

But this *political* aspect doesn't speak to the *labor* component in a post-capitalist political economy -- sure no one could be blackmailed into work roles against their basic human living needs, but how would the potential, willing labor *supply* be treated by the *larger*, *overarching* political society -- the "demand" -- ?

This is where *past work completed*, quantified into labor credits, would confer a kind of *seniority* or *labor social status* in organizing the (numerically smaller) supply of labor to potentially meet the (numerically larger) population's requests ("demand") for production runs.
