Continued Nick Tyrone:

For example, a talented person can turn linen into a coat, so let's assume that 20 yards of linen = 1 coat as a base and explore how this talented person is incentivised via wages according to the degree of exploitation at their workplace.

[anti communist preacher voice] Karl Marx was always talking about the labor theory of value, but what we need today is to return to family values

Iteration #90878720 of "Marx failed to consider [something Marx talked about in the first four pages of Capital]"

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago

I swear they do this on purpose. The goal is to reinforce to their audience that Marx never said anything of "value" in his work. So CHUDs will repeat that mantra and never actually pick up a book. Which in turn means the actually pretty understandable first few pages of capital will never actually reach them and they'll never understand economics.

He has a whole book titled "Value, Price, and Profit" more of a pamphlet, but it's still longer than anything this goober would read

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago

At least he said “value comes from … people” I guess!

The labour theory of value: The value is just... like... there man. It has nothing to do with going to work and doing labour.

This is why i will never like free speech, people with absolutely 0 knowledge in a subject say things with all the confidence in the world.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago

This guy is staggeringly easy to disprove. It's no argument at all for having reasonable free speech protections that even let people be dumb.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago

we've all heard of the labor theory of value, but how about saturation and hue?

“All value is caused by your betters determining it is worth something! And your betters all determined what they have is valuable and you aren’t!”

Holy appeal to authority, batman. Who wants to tell them being condescending is not a good substitute for evidence?

Guy has never heard of the labor theory of value, that’s embarrassing.

Someone must have told him about it last night because his most recent tweet sez:

"To all the socialists: the labour theory of value, posited by Marx, is total horseshit. Reality has disproven it again and again."

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago

😂 if labor didn't create value, why would anyone labor or pay someone to labor?

Despite liberals best efforts, I have yet to see a capitalist turn a tree into a chair by only throwing money at it.

They can also try thinking great ideas at it. Just have to really visualise that revolutionary (lol) new recliner design you thought up last night

This is why programmers frequently end up in the weird conservative/liberal camp. It's the closest to 'if you can dream it you can do it' anyone can get while still laboring.

That's also why these same people are obsessed with AI, because even the relatively simple labor of programming is too much for them

If the money is coins and you throw them hard enough it’s kinda like water jet cutting

Innovative!! here's 23 million in angel investor money don't spend it all on coins

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Look if you can get a chair from that I'm willing to overlook the fact that throwing is labor

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

not money alone but for everything there's a design(er) (Johnny Swing, weird name lol)

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago

"Johnny Swing" sounds like a brace-dark-cowboy alias like "Racial Jake" or "Mr. Fireworks"

A fundamental weakness of socialism is that they don't understand that exploiting WTO enforced 0% import-fees implemented by SAPs and designed by the IMF to keep them in a debt-trap after a deal made with a dictator installed after CIA backed coup, I sell a pallets worth of pencils back to the company running our sweatshop in that poor country (where we pay the men $1/day (and that's only possible because women do all the other social work for "free" at home)) but I charge $1k per box of pencils so I can transfer all the profit made by them to our European office and this is actual how the value is created. Also, they don't even need pencils.
