what did he mean by this?
Stop shilling for market socialism
Nope
that you suck at management
Even Cockshott's system advocates for a consumer goods market in which the price of commodities may diverge from their actual labour content due to fluctuations in supply and demand.

Thats not market socialism you stupid fuck. Having prices in labour vouchers set to clearing price isnt the same as production for exchange, and it certainly isnt market socialism, which is workers cooperatives producing for exchange and profit.
The prices in cockshotts system are set to clearing price to ensure there isnt uneven distribution of products (shortages) or oversupply. This price information can then also be used to plan the economy so as to make sure that product with a much higher clearing price get more production behind it.
Cool it kiddo.
Where in the book does it say that all items are defined by a clearing price? Doing so would defeat the point of Cockshott's consumer goods market in the first place.
Not all Market Socialists advocate for cooperatives.
Towards a new socialism, chapter 8
Cockshott isnt a fucking market socialist, so it doesnt "defeat the point".
Further information on what market-clearing prices are:
Did you actually read the book or did you just read memes?
Yeah yeah I know what market clearing prices are, and I have read the book. Damn you're a disagreeable one aren't you? Do you argue with people with this haughty tone irl too?
I still fail to see how this isn't a market system though. Whether the prices are decided by the distributor or not they're still variable based on the supply and demand of the product and are bought and sold for a currency.
