commodity producer who owns all of her/his’ means of
production and controls and owns without fragmentation the
commodities produced in the labour process. (25)

production. The relations of production are identical in
terms of ownership and control of the means of production and

production process itself, i.e. the farming-landlord 1s a

margin for differentiation of the farming-landlord from the
