 >>  Certaintly capitalists do not say to themselves, I'm gonna make the 
workers produce a greater share of socially necessary labor time that is 
embodied in the commodities I sell. Most of
 them have never _heard_ of the LTV. They say rather, I'll cut my labor
 costs and make more profits <<Justin Schwartz

Jon Flanders:

  I'm no economist but this doesn't ring true. The capitalists most 
certainly say to themselves that they must make the workers produce more 
by working harder, more intensively, for less. This is not just 
exploitation in the scientific sense but in the popular, in the gut 
sense. Why did the GM workers strike over overtime more than once in the 
last few years?
