Just as the object table is standardized as the table-utility value, so the labour producing it cannot retain the particularities of the autarchic activity. The insurrectional phases of struggle differ from this continuum by the fact that the proletariat posits itself as a revolutionary subject. But that is another story. The labour market operates differently because the production of labour power by the proletariat isnt comparable to that of an ordinary commodity.

As we already said, exchange is the only moment when the insertion of the private producer into the labour of the society as a whole is confirmed.

The different dishes of the julbord may vary throughout Sweden, from South to North. We may prefer quality but it is rarely accessible (and it is expensive, organic food for example), so we now have to make do with mass production. The issue in communisation is not to meet a list of pre-established needs, but to overcome the notion of need as want by abolishing ownership (all ownership) and its capacity to satisfy needs from its monopoly on the means of (re)production. The only way to go beyond work is for productive acts to be more than merely productive, for production to be part of life: then lifes prime want will become the whole social activity.
