can be imposed in a
mediate way only, so that if generalized, collectivization of production, as the
process of leasing, would entail the... /:168...collapse of the commodity-form itself. Thus while leasing may co-exist with full ownership of the means of production by capital, it is restricted to perform a subsidiary role, in the same way as rent arises as a subsidiary form in the case of the payment for location.
