“LTV has already been debunked, it’s obvious to everyone that commodities simply build themselves!”
“Marx never considered how technology increases productivity.” (Productive forces)
“Marx never considered how the market alters the price of commodities.” (Exchange versus use value)
“So do you stupid tankies think that if workers do something totally useless (digging holes and then refilling them), that something is still valuable?” (Socially necessary labor time)
It’s kind of an oxymoron I guess but “to understand Marxism is to be a Marxist.” None of these critics on have read a word of Marx.
It’s always the same “criticism” Marx responds to on literally page four of Capital
It basically comes down to the skill of the individual worker and the time it takes them to complete a task.
Jfc, no
For a marxist, having half the population digging holes, and another half filling them, is a value creating endeavour no different than buiding a bridge, as long as the labour is approximately equal.
I wish I could be that confidently wrong.
literally describing bourgeois economist ‘gdp’
it’s always projection ffs
