MSDOS KAPITAL posted:I sure am glad I live in a society where the ruling class doesn't impose its will on society, thereby logicking itself completely out of existence. You should be, otherwise your society would have been affected by the crisis of 1931-3 and 1979-80!

MLSM posted:I ordered this months ago I just haven’t gotten around to reading it yet I read it and really liked it. He specifically points out places where he thinks Harvey got it wrong, but having not read Harvey, I can't say if these points are valid or not. The fact that it's not as long as Capital itself seems to be at least one point in its favor.

mila kunis posted:my primary objection other than the difficulty of reading it is that its been one hundred and fifty fuckin years. a lot of things have happened in that time, marxism isn't a dogma where you have to read the original sacred text and defend marx's carbuncled butthole at all costs, there should absolutely be a standard modern (post ~1985 at the very least cutoff) text updated with all the things people have learned since marx's time that you can refer people to. That sounds like a lot of work though.

The Voice of Labor posted:bring back capital chat! Also, at the time, currencies were backed by a commodity, so they were effectively coupons for some weight of precious metals in most cases. That said, people do buy and sell currency today when they are no longer backed by anything. If this means they are commodities in and of themselves I don't know.

Communist Thoughts posted:This part of the labour value theory I don't really get at the moment, because plenty of things that take less labour are sold for more than things that took more or the same labour to produce. One way to look at is this: If you, me, and three other random people from the thread were put in an operating room with all the right equipment and a "how to brain surgery" book, how long would it take us to perform a successful brain surgery on a patient? How long would it take five people trained over many, many years in the roles to perform the operation? So in essence, the labor of those trained people for the task they are trained in is worth (time us idiots would take / trained labor time) times our labor for that job. The "socially necessary" labor is the time the trained people take to do it: you and I don't have jobs as brain surgeons because we would take far longer than that: too long to do the job for the procedure to be profitable.

Rodney The Yam II posted:So in that sense, some machines could be conceptualized as value-reservoirs? Value-as-labour is concentrated and sedimented in "mechanical" forms, and can be transferred to other material things through productive use? The machines embody the labor that was put into them like all commodities: their use-value is transferring small bits of that labor / value mechanically into a new commodity.
