[Marxism] Marx was a "restricted consumptionist"

[S. Artesian]

So Charles produces one quote, a sentence, and from that, disregarding what 
Marx wrote about overproduction, and the overproduction of capital, and the 
conflict between means and relations, Charles concludes that Marx was a 
"restricted consumptionist."

So Charles show us how restricted consumption has triggered the expansions 
and contractions of capital; how it leads to devaluation, destruction of 
MOP.  Give us, not a quote, but the numbers.  Find something in the US BEA, 
the Annual Survey of Manufacturers,  the Census Bureau's Quarterly Financial 
Reviews, the Fed's Statistical Supplements (last issue published about 2 
weeks ago, unfortunately), or the Fed's review of industrial capacity and 
utilization to measure, guide, analyze, predict the impact of restricted 
consumption.

Show us how restricted consumption produced... how about Russia 1905 or 
1917; Mexico 1910?  The US displacement of Spain in 1896;  Great Depression; 
rise of Hitler; defeat of the Spanish Republic--- actually any critical even 
in capitalist history.
