First, labor statistics are generated by an academic discipline par-excellance, if you think Hegelian Ontology is a bit sticky, try a brief read through some economic modeling texts(I know there are some professional economists on the server, perhaps you could speak to this issue). Not that economics is useless, far from it, but I would argue that it is no more, nor less, a real pursuit than what is going on in this group. More to my field of inquiry, putting an end to capitalism seems a bit utopic, particularly when taken as the goal of an individual. Perhaps you should exmine your bourgois desires to be a self-realized, fully conscious actor in the stage play of revolution a bit before you start slicing up the real and not so real.
