A company is a legal entity/structure that enables someone to convert money into arbitrary/discretionary command-power, i.e. one can order people to do things under threat of real consequences.
so: Law [is a system that] enables one to convert money into power [over others]
-is this what Law is in general?
Surplus [of production] isn’t bad per se. The question is what the surplus is used for/transformed into:
Is it transformed into
a) more energy, light, consciousness
or into
b) more power? – with power here meaning power over others & the environment, & appearing in the form of money in its most general sense: money as credit that ideology-society-state make to function as power-over by guaranteeing the holder of the credit a freedom [& practical ability] to do something that is in logical conflict with another agent’s freedoms (Deutsch: Befugnis)
– maybe relevant to marxist theory
