I've never seen a more pristine example of a straw man, let alone in the wild. Value is fundamental to what constitutes Marxist theory. It's like claiming Garfield hates pasta. Even beyond the strawman, I'm reminded of this quote
"I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops" - Stephen Jay Gould
At which point he's going to pivot to "Capitalism lifts people out of poverty" and "it's not 0 sum" and "it's not violent, only the state is violent because starvation is a baseline" so the beauty would be wasted on him.
Stephen J Gould was a dipshit? Aw dang it
Is there an issue with the quote? Am I misreading?
