The main difference between Stalin and Mao is that Stalin at least quoted Marx, Engels, and Lenin, albeit heavily distorted and out of context, to back up his revisionist ideology, but Mao was just like "since our revolution happened on Opposite Day, it is only natural that Commodity Production is essential to our Socialism".

For Moseley’s discussion of Marx’s outline of the concept of “value” in “Capital” Vol. I, ch. 1, unpacking some of what is problematic in Heinrich’s current of VFT.

According to Heinrich’s special understanding, value is used only for abstract theorizing — a notion which, by the way, I have criticized for a long time. My suggestion, on the other hand, is to build the debate by invoking the writings of Engels who, I feel, clarifies a key tenet of Marx’s economic theory by speculating Marx’s “Law Of Value” began operating at the onset of commodity exchange — historically realized several thousand years pre capitalism—resulting in a certain “equality” among exchangers—although production directed toward increasing value and completion of the world-historic transformation of money into capital had not arisen. In other words, Engels allows for recognition that value emerges with exchange —its locus is the form of exchange — production of commodities, originally without regard for surplus value —while, finally, in capitalism, value functions as capital precisely because it is conditioned by recovering itself— plus a surplus value. Again, the function of capital is to produce not just value but surplus value…

as a communist i do not care abstractly about questions like "will i be able to acquire this commodity at exactly the same rate in exactly the same locations" because the way they reach distribution centers is premised on exploitation, violence, and in many cases genocide

those people matter to me, the people whose lives were transformed into cogs for profit. for extraction. thats the relationship i want to change.

if that means less bananas fine. if it means more bananas fine. bananas arent the aim. emancipation is.

>anarcho makes a smug point about a european country taking unrefined materials out of the hands of the global south at coup-point & taking the profits from the value-add of that extraction process as if it somehow undermines the first point (allthewhile ignoring the mass refinery industries in canada [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [i can go on])

you are not a content generator. you are not a machine. you are not responsible for others. you are you. you are a creator. you are an artist. you must make what you want to make, for yourself, in your own time. anything else is stealing from yourself to feed others tbh. and sharing art is about the act of sharing your bounty. it is about being so full you start filling others. it is about having so much beauty and abundance that you must share it. it is not about starving yourself. i promise you this

There is literally no way to crop my drawing that isn't both an instant dox and also idk not allowed because of disclosure, BUT I am selling one of the first products I designed. 5 year job anniversary is today!

i feel like. if anyone wants to make the argument that AI writing or art or any other "creative" endeavor from a computer program is in fact creativity that is equivalent to human creativity... then like... IF that's the case, that a computer has the understanding/sentience/creativity or whatever you want to call it for this to hold real value and not be stealing from others' creations, then those programs are major ethical violations.... being forced to make endless work on demand at the whims of whoever types something in

Even POC are disliking RoP.

It's like if we thought for ourselves instead of liking what the media says we have to like. Wild.

It's ALMOST like if the color of your skin isn't the basis of your personality and preferences. SO WILD.

Within the sphere of circulation, valorization would only be possible if commodity C is purchased above or below its value. In this case, the sum of value advanced can be increased, but one capitalist’s gain is only possible if another capitalist takes a loss of the same amount. At the level of society as a whole, the sum of value has not changed; it has simply been redistributed, just as if a simple act of theft had occurred. Capitalist profit would therefore be explained as a violation of the laws of commodity production. If we assume the normal conditions of commodity production and circulation, then the “exchange of equivalents” applies: the commodities that are exchanged for one another have the same magnitude of value, the price paid is an adequate expression of the magnitude of the value of the commodity and does not express a coincidentally greater or lesser magnitude; the commodities are exchanged “at their true values”. If surplus value is a normal phenomenon of capitalist commodity production and not just an exception, then its existence must be explained under the presupposition of an “exchange of equivalents”, and this is exactly the question that Marx poses. Marx’s deliberations can be summarized as follows: if equivalent exchange is assumed, then surplus value cannot be constituted in circulation, not in the first act of circulation, M-C, nor in the second act, C-M’. A change must take place between both acts. But outside of the sphere of circulation, the use value of the commodity purchased is merely consumed. Thus the owner of money must find a commodity on the market whose use value possesses the quality of being a source of value, so that the use of this commodity creates value, and more value than the commodity itself costs.

I actually have so many thoughts about revolution and spiritual health. Other key words: animism, materialism, commodity fetishism, mindfullness, decolonisation, alienation, loneliness, the ethical harvest. I should write an actual essay about it. Some day.

 Whether you believe in a God who got the ball rolling, the real day to day answer to 'who made the world?' is us. Every object you own is made by something or someone. you don't need to believe in some great unifying sacredness to believe in the plate in front of you, the food on it. Which you need to live. And which someone and something made for you. Gratitude is only polite. Ensuring the people who help keep you alive have a life worth living is the least you can do, with that gratitude. Ensuring the ecosystems, animals, and plants that feed you are healthy is just manners.
