[Marxism] If you want to identify the ruling class, you have to decide what is a social class.

[S. Artesian]

In reference to 1:  Marx uses  "c+v+s" extensively.  That is in fact how he 
defines the value of a commodity, is it not?   c,v,s are in fact all made 
equivalent through their expression in money terms, in their exchange, with 
the s hidden by the wage form.

2. Can you provide an example of this negative surplus yielding a capitalist 
profit?
