There's a couple of theoretical scenarios I want to hang on top of you, I am thinking poultry, I am thinking breadcrumbs I am thinking frying, Come on riff with me. KFC?

Ok let's not dismiss this idea totally, we'll put it on the backburner for now.

Er, err

as well as a social relation of production, and a monetary valuation of necessary product and surplus product.

There are two important differences, though. Firstly, the comm-speak is handed down from the intellectuals through the party apparatus, while corp-speak is actually spontaneously made up by ordinary people, and spreads through the economy like a vulgar internet meme.

The second is that communism has gone forever as a meaningful political force, and its vocabulary has gone with it, so you need never fear hearing it on a train. Corporate gobbledy-gook, on the other hand....
